FINAL: Winner Match 1 Vs. Winner Match 2

Rules:

1. During the league matches the teams need to have Minimum 2 and maximum 3 replacements for the 2^nd match. This is to allow more participation (since each team has around 15 members) of the members in all teams. This will not be applicable during the semis and finals.
2. There will be 8 overs per innings:
   1. ONLY one bowler can bowl a max. of 3 overs.
   2. Each team will have to use a minimum of four bowlers.
3. In the event of a No ball (due to over stepping) a Free Hit will be awarded to the batting side. On a free hit delivery the batsmen can be out only in the event that he is run out.
4. The rules for a No & Wide ball are as per standards. An additional delivery and one run would be added to the batting team’s score.
5. A TIE would mean that the scores of both teams are tied. WICKETS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
6. In the event of a Tie (applicable for ALL league, semi final and final matches):
   1. A BOWL out will be applied.
   2. 3 bowlers from each team will be given a chance to hit the stumps.
   3. The team hitting the stumps the most number of times will be the winner.
   4. In case the teams are tied after 3 tries then the result will be decided by sudden death:

i. Each captain will select one bowler (excluding the 3 who have already bowled) each.

ii. So the result will be decided on the basis of which of these two are successful.

iii. In case the teams are still tied a new bowler from each side will try till we reach a conclusion.

iv. In the event that all 11 players are used then the earlier bowlers can be used again.

7. At the end of the league matches if teams within a group are tied then the two semifinal teams, from that group, will be selected on the basis of net run rate.

HOW NET RUN-RATE IS CALCULATED .......

Net run-rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that a team throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition.

For example: India's net run-rate in the super six is calculated as follows:

	R1	R2	R3	R4	R5	B1	B2	B3	B4	B5	Total Runs	Total Overs	R/r	Net R/r
For India:	253	249	205	227	251	300	276	300	300	300	1185	246	4.82	-0.153
Against India:	254	252	282	180	253	284	300	300	300	290	1221	245.4	4.97

R = runs scored in each match

B = balls faced in each match

R/r = India's run-rate is calculated as 1185 / 246 = 4.817 (4.82)

R/r = India's opponents run-rate is calculated as 1221 / 245.4 = 4.970 (4.97)

Net run-rate (Net R/r) is calculated as India's r/r (4.817) minus India's opponets r/r (4.970) = a negative 0.153 (since India's r/r is less than the opponent's r/r)

Note:

In the event of a team being all 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. (For example: refer table R3 and B3 above. India against Australia were all out for 205, so B3 is 300 balls and not 290 (48.2 overs) - the actual balls required for India to make these runs).

But in case the team chasing reaches the score before the stipulated overs then that will be considered as the number of overs for calculation.
