Laws of Super over
The International Cricket Council state the official rules for Super Overs in the Standard Twenty20 International Match Playing Conditions, in effect from 1 October 2012.[12][13] A Super Over determines the winner of matches ending with the scores tied according to the following rules:
This rule was applied on 5 May 2010 in a 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20 match between Australia and England, won by Australia by scoring more sixes in both innings.[15][16] In the 2014 Indian Premier League, a Super Over used in a tied match between the Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders was also tied as both teams scored 11 runs. The match was won by the Rajasthan Royals as they had hit more sixes during the main match. The final of the 2019 Cricket World Cup also went to a Super Over.
The International Cricket Council state the official rules for Super Overs in the Standard Twenty20 International Match Playing Conditions, in effect from 1 October 2012.[12][13] A Super Over determines the winner of matches ending with the scores tied according to the following rules:
- Weather permitting, the Super Over will commence 10 minutes after the main match. Each team bats one over under the same restrictions as for the final over in a pool match.
- The team batting second in the main match will bat first in the Super Over.
- Each side has three nominated batsmen, meaning that the loss of two wickets ends the Super Over.
- In the event of the scores being level in the Super Over, the first satisfied of the following criteria will determine the winner:
- If the regular match utilised the Duckworth–Lewis method, criterion 4 immediately applies.
- The team with the most number of boundaries combined from the main match and the Super Over is the winner.
- The team with the most number of boundaries from the main match (that is, not including the Super Over) is the winner.
- A count-back from the final ball of the Super Over shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery is the winner. Runs scored from illegal deliveries count towards the total for the following legal delivery.
