Table
- Five points were awarded for a win.
- Three points were awarded for "winning" the first innings of a drawn match.
- One point was awarded for "losing" the first innings of a drawn match.
- Matches which ended without both teams completing a first innings were added to the "No result" column. Teams won no points for these draws, but these matches were not included in the calculation of possible points.
- Final placings were decided by calculating the percentage of possible points.
