During the super over only 3 batsmen (i.e., 2 wickets) will be allowed to bat and normal fielding restriction (non-power play) will apply. For the super over game, the team that batted first during the match will actually bat 2nd in the super over. If even after the super over the scores are tied, then the number of sixes hit in the 20 over game will be used to declare the winner. If the number of sixes in 20 overs are equal, then number of boundaries (4s) will be taken into account for decision making. In the event that both boundaries and sixes are also equal, then the sixes (6) hit during super over followed by boundaries (4s) in super over will be taken into account. If all of the above still come out to be equal then the points will be shared between the two teams. | |
| Run Count | In a scenario where a chasing team needs 1 run to win and they hit a boundary, if they complete 1 run (by running) prior to the ball reaching the boundary, then only 1 run will be awarded to the chasing team (and not the boundary). This is in accordance with the ICC ruling. | |
