Example 2: Team A bats first and receives 19 overs in the allotted time. In the 20 overs it eventuallyreceives, it scores 75 runs. Team B therefore has 19 overs to score 76 runs to win. However, Team Abowls slowly and, by the end of the allotted time, has only bowled 18 overs, at which time Team Bhas scored 5/63. Team A must bowl one more over to complete its 19 overs, and then an additionalone over penalty, giving Team B two overs to score the 13 for victory.4.4.4 In a reduced over match under Playing Condition 4.3, the penalties for slow play as providedfor in Playing Condition 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 shall still apply.4.4.5 Umpires are instructed to apply the penalties for slow play unless they are convinced thatextraordinary circumstances, beyond the control of the bowling team, have contributed to theslowness of play. Delays caused by injury, loss or replacement of the ball or deliberate timewasting by the batting team may be taken into account in the consideration of the reductionof any penalty.5. OVERS5.1 Six [6] balls shall be bowled to the over. Overs to be a maximum of eight [8] balls, including No Ballsand Wides. These balls will be signalled and scored as per normal scoring procedure.5.2 Underarm bowling shall not be permitted.5.3 In an uninterrupted match, no bowler may bowl more then one-fifth of the total overs.5.4 In a match where a delay to the start or an interruption to play in the first innings causes a reduction inthe allotted overs for both teams, no bowler may bowl more than one-quarter of the allotted overs,except that when the number of overs is not divisible by four, an additional over shall be allowed to theminimum number of bowlers necessary to make up the balance, e.g. in a 10 over match 2 bowlers maybowl a maximum of 3 overs, and no other bowler may bowl more than 2 overs.5.5 When the number of overs is revised during the first innings such that both teams have the opportunityto face the same number of overs, and one or more bowlers have already exceeded the revised limit, thesame number of bowlers in the second innings may match these overs. (eg the revised limit is 4 overs,but one bowler has already bowled 5. In the second innings, one bowler may bowl 5 overs, and noother may bowl more than 4)5.6 Where the number of overs is revised after the conclusion of the first innings, Playing Condition 5.4shall apply to the second innings.5.7 In the event of a bowler, for any reason, being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will bebowled by another bowler from the same end. Such part of an over will count as a full over as far aseach bowler's limit is concerned. The bowler completing this over will not be allowed to bowl the nextover, nor will she have bowled the previous over.5.8 In the event of Playing Condition 4.4.2 being invoked, no bowler may bowl more one-fifth (in anuninterrupted match) or one-quarter (in a delayed or interrupted match) in an innings.5.9 Maximum Overs for Medium and Pace Bowlers5.9.1 Definitions(i) For the purpose of this regulation, a player’s status shall be determined by her age on thethirty first [31] day of August preceding the season in which the competition is played(i.e A player who is eighteen [18] on the thirty-first day of August shall be deemed tobe under nineteen [19] for the duration of that season)(ii) Bowling Type: Bowlers of medium pace or faster (as determined by the umpires andbroadly defined as one to whom the wicket-keeper would normally stand back, or onewho is not considered a slow bowler).
