Top four (shaded) qualify for the playoffs. 2 points for a win, 1 for a no result. Ties on points are separated by net run rate in the official table; we list them by wins.

How the NPL table works

Eight teams play each other once. After 28 league games the top four go into IPL-style playoffs: first and second get two chances to reach the final. That makes the race for the top two as important as the race for fourth place.
