What the columns mean
P — matches played in the league stage.
W — wins.
L — losses.
NR — no result.
NRR — net run rate: own run rate minus the run rate conceded.
FOR — runs scored and overs faced.
AGAINST — runs conceded and overs bowled.
PTS — two points for a win, one for a no result.
How net run rate is counted here
Net run rate here runs from Perth Scorchers on 0.154 at the top to Melbourne Stars on -0.926 at the foot: own run rate minus the run rate conceded, across the league stage only. A team bowled out gets its full quota of overs in the denominator, and wides and no-balls add runs without counting as balls faced.
