6. Fielding Restrictions: There are no fielding restrictions at any point during the game.
7. Game Start: A minimum of 8 players must be present at the scheduled start of the game. Failure to show up or showing up 15 minutes past the scheduled time will result in a walkover.

19. Retirement: A batsman can retire after facing at least one ball and may return to bat only after the fall of the last wicket. The second retiree cannot return.
