In the event of teams finishing with equal points at the end of the league, their ranking will be determined on a descending order based on overall tournament NET RUN RATE calculated as follows:
NET RUN RATE:
At the end of a tournament, Team ‘A’ scores 1200 runs off 100 over’s (in five matches) and given away 1,400 runs in 100 overs, its net run rate shall be:
(Total runs scored/overs played) – (Total runs scored by opponents/over are played)
= (1,200/100) – (1400/100)
=1.2 – 1.4 = -0.2 (net run rate Team ‘A’)
FOR THE PURPOSE OF ABOVE CALCULATION:
In the event of a team being all out in less then its full quota of over’s, the calculation of its net run rate shall be used based on the full quota of over’s to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of over’s in which the team was dismissed.
In case of a side scoring total runs in excess of that scored by the opposing side in less then the full quota of over’s, then the actual number of over’s played will be taken for the purpose of net run rate calculation.
ILLUSTRATION:
Over’s to be used for calculation = 80 + 18 = 98.
1 x 18 = 18 overs.
4 x20 = 80 overs.
Total over played by Team ‘A’ during the tournament shall be:
In one match, it reaches the target in 18 overs and wins.
Team ‘A’ plays a total of 5 matches in a 20 overs tournament.
Runner will not be provided by Umpires unless nine wickets are down, the injured or ill batsman has the option of retiring hurt and returning to bat at a later stage should the need and/or opportunity arise. Calculation of the period for which an injured or ill player who has been absent from the field shall not be permitted to bowl or bat i.e. penalty time.
