How are points scored in sport cricket?

In: Cricket (Sport) [Edit categories]

Answer:

Points determine the ranking of a team on the table. After every ODI match, the two teams involved receive points based on a mathematical formula. The total of each team's points total is divided by the total number of matches to give a rating, and all teams are ranked on a table in order of rating. When a lower rated team defeats a higher ranked team it recives more points and vice-versa.
