A team is awarded six points for an outright win, but if the victory is achieved by an innings or by 10 wickets, a bonus point is added, making it a maximum of seven points that a side can earn from a game.
If a match ends in a draw, the team that takes the first-innings lead bags three points, while the team that concedes the lead ends up with one point. In case of a no-result, or if the first innings is tied, the teams earn one point apiece. If the match stands tied after both innings are completed, the teams get three points each.
