IPL Super Over Rules

Super Over is a new and exciting concept in cricket. It was first timed tried in a 20-20 match between New Zealand and West Indies.

Super Over is similar to penalty shoot-out that we see in some of the other sports. In case of the tie between two teams in 20-20 match, the match is decided with one over by each team. The team winning in that over is declared as the match winner. This way all the matches ends up with a result and no-old boring match ties.

These are the rules to be followed:

• After a Tied T20 match, each team selects 3 batsman and a bowler and play one over each.. number of runs scored and wickets lost calculate to who won.


• If number of runs scored and wickets lost in one off super over are equal, total number of sixes hit in the match by each team decides who won


• If still equal, number of fours hit decides the winner
