Each team received 3 points in the event of a no result or tied game. A bonus point was available if the winning team scored at a run rate of at least 1.25 times the losing team. In this series however, this bonus point was also deducted from the other team, resulting in the winning team earning 6 points and the losing team zero. The two teams with the most points at the conclusion of the series played in a best-of-three final.2002-03 VB Series - Points Table https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/vb-series-2002-03-61122/points-table-standings ESPNcricinfo 2026-02-12 Pos Team P W L NR T Points NRR 1 AUS 8 7 1 0 0 38 +0.730 2 ENG 8 3 5 0 0 20 −0.023 3 SRI 8 2 6 0 0 14 −0.993 Group stage 1st Match: Australia v England 13 December 2002 14:15 yes ENG 8/251 (50 overs) 3/252 (45 overs) AUS NV Knight 111* (133) B Lee 4/47 (8 overs) ML Hayden 98 (92) ID Blackwell 2/38 (10 overs) Australia won by 7 wicketshttp://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8531/scorecard/65629/Australia-vs-England-1st-Match-vb-series// 1st Match, Carlton & United Series at Melbourne, Dec 13 2002 ESPNcricinfo 2017-09-27 Scorecard Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney RE Koertzen (SA) and SJA Taufel (Aus) ML Hayden (Aus) England won the toss and elected to bat.
