PSL 8 Points Table Criteria
The PSL points table is a list of teams in the league ranked according to their total points. Points are awarded to teams depending on their results in league matches. In the PSL group stage, teams receive two points for a win and one point for a no result or a draw.
The format of the tournament is two-round. Each team will face the other teams twice in the group stage to win the PSL points table. The top four teams advance to the playoffs.
The scoring system implemented in the PSL 2023 Scoreboard is the same as in previous editions of the PSL or any T20 Franchise League worldwide.
The ranking will be determined by the highest number of points scored after 10 matches in the group stage. Teams finishing in the top four places on the PSL points table will advance to the next round. Two points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss.
The Super Over will be played if the match ends in a draw.
The following criteria will determine the places of the teams in the group stages:
- The team with the highest points on PSL Points Table at the end of the group stage will finish in the first position.
