Target Score

If, due to suspension of play after the start of tmatch, the number of overs in the innings of eithteam has to be revised to a lesser number thoriginally allotted (minimum of 20 overs), thenrevised target score (to win) should be set for tnumber of overs which the team batting secowill have the opportunity of facing. This revistarget is to be calculated using the curreDuckworth/Lewis method. The target set walways be a whole number and one run less wconstitute a Tie. (Refer Duckworth/LewRegulations)


11/24

If the innings of the side batting second issuspended (with at least 20 overs bowled) and it isnot possible for the match to be resumed, thematch will be decided by comparison with the D/L „Par Score‟ determined at the instant of thesuspension by the Duckworth/Lewis method (referDuckworth/Lewis Regulations). If the score is equalto the par score, the match is a Tie. Otherwise theresult is a victory, or defeat, by the margin of runs

by which the score exceeds, or falls short of, thePar Score.

* the team with the most number of wins.

* the team which has lesser number ofdefeats.

14.5.2 Net Run Rate

A team‟s net run rate is calculated by deductingfrom the average runs per over scored by thatteam throughout the competition, the average runsper over scored against that team throughout thecompetition.

In the event of a team being all out in less than itsfull quota of overs, the calculation of its net run

rate shall be based on the full quota of overs towhich it would have been entitled and not on thenumber of overs in which the team was dismissed

Where a match is abandoned, but a result achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rapurposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team Par Score on abandonment off the same numberovers faced by Team 2. Where a match concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having beapplied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 wbe accredited with 1 run less than the final TargScore for Team 2 off the total number of ove

allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.

Final Matches

Semi Finals: In case of wash out or any othinterruption (beyond human control) and no resis achieved then the team which has a better nrun rate in all matches of the tournament will pthe final.

19.2.7 Each block of Powerplay Overs mustcommence at the start of an over.

19.2.8

If play is interrupted not during thePowerplay overs, then on resumption, it isnecessary to determine how any remainingPowerplay overs should be allocated. Thetotal number of Powerplay overs for theinnings is derived from the table in 41.2.6. Any Powerplay overs already taken prior tothe interruption will be deemed to havebeen in sequence: the initial allocation, thefielding side's allocation then the battingside's allocation. The decision of the

batting side, and if applicable of the fieldingside, of when to take any remainingPowerplay overs, is made in the usual way.

Illustrations of 19.2.8:

(a) A match starts as 50 overs, is interrupted after12 overs and reduced to 43 overs. (The first 10overs have been Powerplays (PP); the next two cannot be PP.) The new PP allocation is 9+4+4, sothere are 3 overs of fielding side selection left andall 4 overs for the batting side. Neither PP canstart until the 16 th over and both must becompleted by the 40th over.

(b) A match starts as 40 overs, is interrupted after10 overs and reduced to 30 overs. (The first 8overs have been PP; the next two can not be PP.)The new PP allocation is 6+3+3, so there is 1 overof fielding side selection left and all 3 overs for thebatting sides. Both teams can use their respective1 and 3 over allocations at any time.

(c) As in (b) above but the match resumes as 23overs each. The PP allocation is now 5+2+2, soone batting side PP over remains to be taken attheir discretion.

19.2.9 If play is interrupted during the first orsecond Powerplay and on resumption theovers required to be bowled in thatPowerplay have already been exceeded,then subsequent Powerplay(s) will assumeto have been taken consecutively up to that

point.

Note that if the second Powerplay is

Powerplay has finished, the specifearliest starting point for the secoPowerplay no longer applies.

19.2.10 If play is interrupted during the fiPowerplay and resumes during the secoPowerplay, the second Powerplay will deemed to have been nominated by tfielding captain.

19.2.11 If following an interruption, resumption the total number of Powerpovers for the innings has already beexceeded, then there will be no furthPowerplay deliveries bowled in the inningNote that this is the only circumstanunder which the Powerplay status can changed during an over.

Illustrations of 19.2.9, 19.2.10 and 19.2.11

A 50 over innings is interrupted after 9.3 overs, aon resumption has been reduced to (a) 43 ove(b) 38 overs, (c) 28 overs, (d) 20 overs.

(a) Powerplay overs are 9+4+4. 2 nd Powerplayin progress with 0.3 out of the fielding team4 overs completed, i.e. it covers overs 10 13, even though it would not otherwise hastarted before the 16 th over. The battside‟s 4 over Powerplay can start anytim

between the 16

th

and 37

th

overs (so as finish by over 40).

(b) Powerplay overs are 8+4+3. 2 nd Powerplayin progress with 1.3 out of the fielding team4 overs completed. The innings is now lthan 40 overs, so the batting side‟s 3 rd opowerplay can start any time after the 1over.

(c) Powerplay overs are 6+3+2. 3rd Powerplayin progress with 0.3 out of 2 overs completed

(d) Powerplay overs are 4+2+2. All Powerpovers have been completed. Non-Powerprestrictions take effect immediately and do nneed to wait until the end of the over.

19.2.12 If following an interruption while Powerplay is not in progress, it is fouon resumption that the recalculatnumber of Powerplay overs remainiexceeds the number of overs to

bowled in the innings, then tPowerplays will commence at the start the next over with fewer than t


15/24

Illustration of 19.2.12:

A 50 over innings in which only the 1 st Powerplayhas been taken is interrupted after 29.1 overs andreduced to 32 overs. Powerplay overs are 7+3+3.Powerplays automatically resume for the start ofthe next over, but only 12 of the 13 scheduledPowerplay overs can be bowled in the innings.

19.2.13 At the commencement of eachdiscretionary block of Powerplay Overs,the umpire shall signal suchcommencement to the scorers by rotatinghis arm in a large circle. If the batting sidehas chosen the Powerplay the umpireshall signal this to the scorers by tappinghis hands above his head after the signal.

19.2.14 The umpire shall also indicate to thefielding captain before any signal is made

that the batting side has chosen itsPowerplay.
