The 2016 season of the PSL followed rules and regulations laid down by the International Cricket Council. In the group stage, two points were awarded for a win, one for a no result and none for a loss. In the event of tied scores after both teams faced their quota of overs, a super over would have been used to determine the match winner.[25] In the group stage teams were ranked on the following criteria:[26]
- Higher number of points
- If equal, higher number of wins
- If equal, fewest defeats
- If still equal, the results of head-to-head meetings
- If still equal, net run rate
If any play-off match had finished with a no result, a super over would have been used to determine the winner. If the super over had not have been possible or the result of the over was a tie, the team which finished in the highest league position at the end of the regular season would have been deemed the winner of the match.
