Points system
As per previous edition the following points were awarded: 4 for a win; 2 for a no result; and 0 for a loss. However, in addition to this, a new bonus point system was introduced where additional points were awarded for teams meetings various performance targets. The system was introduced by white ball coach Daren Sammy to build a certain brand of cricket amongst the regional teams. The bonus point system aims to tackle issues such as low strike rate, dot balls, strike rotation, death bowling etc.[5] The following tables outline the bonus points allocation.[6]
