How Does the Points System Work?
The BCCI enforces standard ICC-compliant List A One Day tournament points regulations across all Vijay Hazare Trophy fixtures:
- Win: 4 points
- Tie / No Result: 2 points each team
- Loss: 0 points
What is Net Run Rate (NRR) and How is it Calculated?
Net Run Rate (NRR) is the definitive tie-breaker applied when two or more teams finish with identical points totals at the end of the group phase. NRR represents the difference between the average runs scored per over by a team and the average runs conceded per over across the tournament:
NRR Formula: NRR = (Total Runs Scored ÷ Total Overs Faced) − (Total Runs Conceded ÷ Total Overs Bowled)
If a team is bowled out before completing their full 50 overs, they are deemed to have batted their complete quota of 50 overs for NRR calculation purposes.
Knockout Stage Qualification Criteria
The top-ranked team from each of the 5 Elite Groups (Groups A, B, C, D, and E) earns direct entry into the Quarter Finals. The five second-placed teams and the top third-placed team are evaluated on points and NRR to determine the matchups for the Pre-Quarter Finals. The winners of those matches complete the final eight lineup.
