IPL 2008
The 2008 Indian Premier League: 58 matches between 8 clubs, won by Rajasthan Royals. Every figure here is counted from the ball-by-ball record.
The league stage
Two points for a win, one for a no result. Ordered on points and then wins, not on net run rate — the league separates level teams on net run rate, and that figure cannot be reproduced from this data without guessing at how reduced-overs and all-out innings are treated. Where two clubs are level here, the league’s own order may differ.
