Understanding SRL Points
Can someone explain why the SRL points table changes so dramatically after just a few matches? One team can be at the bottom one day and suddenly jump to fourth the next. I get that net run rate plays a role, but the swings seem way more dramatic compared to the real Big Bash.

That happens because SRL uses traditional cricket scoring but runs matches continuously, so standings update far more frequently. A dominant win can massively shift net run rate, and SRL often produces decisive results. I found a breakdown on https://cricketlineguru.co.in that explains how SRL applies bonus points and run rate weightings exactly like real cricket. They also show how teams’ positions can shift quickly when matches take place every few hours. It’s not inconsistent—it’s just a fast-moving competition. Once you understand the math behind it, the swings stop looking strange.
