PSL 2021 Format
The format of PSL 2021 is the same as last year. Each team will play group stage matches against each other and will gain points, each team will earn two points after every win. At the end of the group stage matches, the top 4 teams of the table will qualify for playoffs.
Moreover, the top two teams will battle for a slot in the final in the first play-off match. While the teams positioned 3rd and 4th will fight for survival in the first eliminator match with the winning team
The winner of that match will go on as the second team in the final. The 6th Edition of PSL, like all seasons, will be endorsed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
PSL 2021 Rules & Points
The basics of the 6th edition of PSL are the same as before as two points will be awarded to the winning team. Therefore, a “no result” will award one point to both the playing sides while the losing side in any match will not gain any point. If a match is tied, the fate of both the teams will be decided in a Super Over.
If the Super Over is tied, then the team with the maximum boundaries will win the match. Here are some pointers to help you understand the PSL table better:
The top position will be deduced by the maximum number of points in the PSL table.
If multiple teams are tied with the same number of points, then the net run rate (NRR) will come into force and the team with the highest (NRR) will top the others.
Moreover, If in case, even the NRR is tied, the team with the most wins will top the others.
If two teams are tied on all the above criteria, then the head-to-head contest between these teams will determine the eventual superior.
