A Super Over,[1][2] also called a one-over eliminator[3][4] or simply an eliminator,[5] is a tie-breaking method used in limited-overs cricket matches. The super over is a reduced version of the match that consists only of one over (six balls) and two wickets for each team. The official result of the match would be a "tie" but within the context of the tournament or series, the winning team of the "Super Over" is declared the winner of the match and the victory is seen as equivalent of one earned in a regular match. Runs scored in super overs do not count towards a player's statistical record. The Super Over was first used in 2008 in Twenty20 cricket, replacing the bowl-out method that was previously used for breaking a tie. The Super Over is primarily used in Twenty20 cricket.

The Super Over was introduced into One Day International cricket at the 2011 Cricket World Cup knockout stage, where a game ending in a tie would have been decided via Super Over,[6] but it was not used, as no 2011 knockout games were tied. For the following World Cup in 2015, only the final would be decided by a Super Over in the event of a tie. Ties in other knockout-stage matches returned to the previous rule where the team with the better group stage performance would advance.[7][8]

Contrary to the tie-breaking methods used in other sports, the Super Over is often used in the group stage of Twenty20 tournaments. Journalist Sambit Bal described this use as being unnecessary for situations outside knockout stages. He sees a tie being a satisfactory result both to the teams and in entertainment value.[9] Mike Hesson, the coach of the New Zealand national cricket team, also criticised the Super Over after his team lost two Super Overs in the Super Eight group stage of the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 and finished bottom of their group.[10]

Rules

The International Cricket Council state the official rules for Super Overs in the Standard Twenty20 International Match Playing Conditions, in effect from 1 October 2012.[11][12] A Super Over determines the winner of matches ending with the scores tied according to the following rules:

  • Weather permitting, the Super Over will commence 10 minutes after the main match.Each team bats one over under the same restrictions as for the final over in a pool match.
  • The team batting second in the main match will bat first in the Super Over.
  • The bowler of the batting team can not both bat and bowl in the same super over
  • Each side has three nominated batsmen, meaning that the loss of two wickets ends the Super Over.
  • In the event of the scores being level in the Super Over, the first satisfied of the following criteria will determine the winner:
    1. If the regular match utilised the Duckworth–Lewis method, criterion 4 immediately applies.
    2. The team with the most number of boundaries combined from the main match and the Super Over is the winner.
    3. The team with the most number of boundaries from the main match (that is, not including the Super Over) is the winner.
    4. A count-back from the final ball of the Super Over shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery is the winner. Runs scored from illegal deliveries count towards the total for the following legal delivery.

Before 1 October 2010, Super Overs ending in a tie had the winner first decided by the number of boundary sixes the teams hit in both innings, then by the sixes hit in the main match.[13]

This rule was applied on 5 May 2010 in a 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20 match between Australia and England, won by Australia by scoring more sixes in both innings.[14][15] In the 2014 Indian Premier League, a Super Over used in a tied match between the Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders was also tied as both teams scored 11 runs. The match was won by the Rajasthan Royals as they had hit more sixes during the main match.

Variations

In the 2014–15 season, the Big Bash League began using a variation of the rules, allowing each innings the full amount of 10 wickets.[16]

Example

Chris Gayle scored 25 runs in the first Super Over

The first implementation of Super Overs was in the tied Twenty20 match between the West Indies and New Zealand on 26 December 2008. West Indies scored 25/1 in their super over and New Zealand replied with 15/2.[17] This particular match was a trial of the Super Over concept, and the official result was a tie.[2]

The 26 December 2008 Twenty20 match between New Zealand and the West Indies was tied after each sides' 20 overs.[2]

- Daniel Vettori was the "nominated bowler" for New Zealand.
- Chris Gayle and Xavier Marshall opened the "mini-innings".
- Marshall was run out without facing a ball, and Shivnarine Chanderpaul similarly remained at the non-striker's end.
- Gayle hit 25 runs off the 6 balls he faced.
The Windies' "Super Over" score was 25 for 1 from six balls.[18]


- Sulieman Benn was the nominated bowler for the West Indies.
- NZ opener Jacob Oram was caught on Benn's third "super over" delivery.
- Third man in Ross Taylor hit a six but was then clean bowled on the next ball. Oram's "super over" opening partner Brendon McCullum didn't face a delivery.
The Black Caps' Super Over score was 15 for 2 (all out) from five balls.[18]


The West Indies thus won the Super Over.
