In the first super final, Kings XI Punjab somehow managed to throw 5 runs into the Yashpreet Boomer fire. Mohammad Shami played very well with that small capital. Punjab stopped with 5 runs. The match ended in the second super over. Mumbai had 11 runs. Chris Gayle hit a six on Trent Bolt’s first ball. Mayank Agarwal came back after winning the match. One of those breathless matches was seen on the IPL stage on Sunday. For the first time in history, there were two super overs in a match. The question is, if the match had not been decided in the second super over, how would the result have been declared?
The old ICC rules were that if the first Super Over was not decided, the winner would be declared Limit. New Zealand lost the last final of the ODI World Cup due to this rule. If the number of limits were also equal, the runs would be calculated. What was the run of any team on the fifth ball of the over? If it were equal, the runs of the fourth, third, second and first ball would be counted. The ICC changed the rules after intense criticism began after the last World Cup final. That’s why two super overs were seen in yesterday’s IPL match.
The Super Over will continue until the outcome of the match is determined by the new ICC rules. That is, if there is a tie in the second super over, then the third super over. And if there is a tie in the third super over, then the fourth super over. The game will continue like this. It’s a lot like the “sudden death” rule in soccer. While it doesn’t take a long time in soccer to enforce this rule, it takes a long time in cricket. Players, spectators, announcers – they all get in trouble. So the ICC has left some loopholes in this rule. The match referee has been placed with a power of attorney.
If the match referee thinks that the game is taking too long; Then you can specify the number of super overs in advance. If this is not resolved, the match will be considered a draw. There is also the opportunity to walk away from the protracted super over policy if the weather or the broadcaster is against it. In that case also the match will be considered tied. Only players who hit or throw in the first super over cannot participate in the second super over. His chance will be in the third super finish. Cricketers who bat and bowling in the second super over will have another chance in the fourth super over.
