The 2002âÂÂ03 Australia Tri-Nation Series (more commonly known as the 2002âÂÂ03 VB Series) was a One Day International (ODI) cricket tri-series where Australia played host to England and Sri Lanka. Australia and England reached the Finals, which Australia won 2âÂÂ0.
The winning team of a match normally earned 5 points and the losing team 1 point. 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.
