In other words, the team must ensure that the bowler has no physical discomfort before starting over. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the Super Over Game. The batsmen are not allowed to change during the course of the match unless the batsman gets out. The team cannot call back a particular batsman for whatever reasons. The loss of two wickets in the over ends the team’s super over innings. In the event of the teams having the same score after Super Over (tied) has been completed, the team that hit the most number of sixes combined from its two innings in both the main match and the super over shall be the winner. If both the teams are happened to again end up in a tie, then the winner will be decided by TOSS.
