## 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 Sydney Sixers on 0.300 at the top to Melbourne Renegades on -1.647 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.
