114. If the score is equal in the Super Over, a count-back from the final ball of the Super Over shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery shall be the winner. If a team loses two wickets during its over, then any unbowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls. Note that for this purpose, the runs scored from a delivery is defined as the total team runs scored since the completion of the previous legitimate ball, i.e. including any runs resulting from Wides, no balls or penalty runs.
For Example:
Runs scored from: | Team 1 | Team 2 |
Ball 6 | 1 | 1 |
Ball 5 | 4 | 4 |
Ball 4 | 2 | 1 |
Ball 3 | 6 | 2 |
Ball 2 | 0 | 1 |
Ball 1 | 2 | 6 |
In the above example both teams scored an equal number of runs from the 6th and 5th ball of their innings. However, team 1 scored 2 runs from its 4th ball while team 2 scored a single so team 1 is the winner.
Premature Match Termination
115. Prematurely Terminated Matches, Duckworth/Lewis/Stern Regulations methods will be implemented by the umpires and the equation will be informed to the captains.
116. At the time of quarter finals, semi-finals if the match is washed out, the team with the maximum points at the group stage will go ahead. If the teams are still equal on points than the higher net run rate will be taken into consideration.

Anchor Overs
120. Anchor Over 1: This is a Batsman’s Anchor Over and must be bowled between 1st - 10th over. If not taken, by default the 10th over will be treated as Anchor Over 1. It will be decided by the batting team. In this Anchor Over 1, the runs scored will be doubled including extras. The Batting Team can decide to take Anchor Over 1 after the bowler is assigned the over. Bowler cannot be changed if the batting team decides that as the Anchor Over 1.
121. Anchor Over 2: This is a Bowlers Anchor Over and must be bowled between 11th – 15th Over. If not taken, by default 15th over will be treated as Anchor Over 2. Anchor over 2 will be decided by the fielding team. If a wicket falls in this over 8 runs will be deducted from the batting team total. Bowler will be chosen by the bowling team captain. (P. S. Any Bowlers can bowl only 4 overs in a match)
122. Net Runrate Calculation:
A team’s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team, the average runs per over scored against that team. In the event of a team being out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed. Calculating net-run rate of Team A – example 1 Game 1 – Scored 150 runs in 20 overs, conceded 120 runs in 20 overs Game 2 – Scored 120+ runs in 15 overs, conceded 180 runs in 20 overs Game 3 – Scored 160 runs in 20 overs, conceded 161 runs in 14.2 overs + Denotes all out Across the three games, ‘Team A’ scored 430 runs in 55 overs – but because Team A was dismissed before their allotted 20 overs in game 2, the net run rate is calculated as if they scored their runs over the full 20 overs. Therefore, Team A scored 430 runs in 60 overs at a rate of 7.16 runs per over. Team A’s opposition scored a total of 461 runs across the three games in a total of 54.2 overs. Note, in game 3 the opposition were not all out therefore there is no change to their overs. The opposition net run rate is subsequently 8.48 (461/326 * 6). To calculate NRR, compute for-against (7.16-8.48) to end up with: - 1.32 In the case of a forfeit, the team will lose -0.5 on their net-run rate. The opposition team will gain +0.5 on their net-run rate.
