Super Over! Super Over in Cricket:
The New Zealand cricket lovers will never forget the rule, when two teams score the equal number of runs in Super Over too. That the winner between the two teams will be decided based on the highest number of fours scored in the match.
This is what happened in the final match of ICC Men 2019 cricket world cup between England and New Zealand. England emerged as 2091 world cup champions based on the number of fours they hit in that specific match.
Initially New Zealand batted first and scored 241/8 in 50 overs, in reply England scored 241 in 50 overs.
In Super Over: England batted first and scored 15/0 in 6 balls, in reply New Zealand scored 15/1 in 6 balls
Then the match was decided based on the number of fours scored by individual team in match, where England scored 26 fours and New Zealand scored 17 fours.
International cricket council faced a lot of criticism due to this rule and its unfair to decide the winner based on the number of scores they score in the match.
Therefore, in the month of October 2019, ICC came up with a new rule, that if a match gets tie, a Super over will be bowled. If match gets tie even in Super Over and another Super over will happen. This will continue until the winner in the match is decided.
