21.8 Law 21.8 - Correctness of result<br />
Any query on the result of the match as defined in Laws 21.2, 21.3, 21.5, 21.8 and 21.10 (as modified by these<br />
regulations) shall be resolved as soon as possible and a final decision made by the umpires and NCU.<br />
21.9 Points<br />
21.9.1 Win, with bonus point 5<br />
Win, without bonus point 4<br />
Tie 3<br />
No Result 2<br />
Loss 0<br />
In the event of teams finishing on equal points:<br />
The team with the most number of wins<br />
If still equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and<br />
have the same number of wins<br />
If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points<br />
If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate<br />
In a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable.<br />
21.9.2 Net Run Rate<br />
A team's net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team<br />
throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition.<br />
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of over's, the calculation of its net run rate shall be<br />
based on the full quota of over's to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of over's in which<br />
the team was dismissed. Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run<br />
rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis/Stern, for<br />
net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2's Par Score on abandonment off the same<br />
number of over's faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis/Stern having<br />
been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final Target<br />
Score for Team 2 off the total number of over's allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.<br />
21.9.3 Bonus Points<br />
The team that achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the opposition shall be awarded one bonus point.<br />
A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the number of<br />
over's faced.<br />
22. LAW 22 - THE OVER<br />
Law 22 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
22.1 Law 22.5 Umpire miscounting<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 22.5: Whenever possible the umpire shall liaise with the scorers if the over<br />
has been miscounted.<br />
23. LAW 23 - DEAD BALL<br />
Law 23 shall apply.<br />
Note: Towel falling from the bowler's trouser during run up / delivery stride - Umpires to have a proactive discussion with the<br />
bowler and warn them that if the batsman complains after the towel has fallen, the ball may be called dead and any dismissal<br />
not allowed<br />
24. LAW 24 - NO BALL<br />
Law 24 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
24.1 Law 24.1 (b) Mode of delivery<br />
Law 24.1 (b) shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The bowler may not deliver the ball underarm. If a bowler bowls a ball underarm the umpire shall call and signal no<br />
ball, and the ball is to be re-bowled over arm.<br />
24.2 Free Hit<br />
TAKE NOTE: If no NCU Umpires is appointed to the match: FREE HITS WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE, and<br />
only the one run penalty for the no ball will stand.<br />
In addition to the above, the delivery following a no ball called for all modes of no ball shall be a free hit for whichever<br />
batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball) then the<br />
next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed<br />
only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball.<br />
Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless:<br />
a) There is a change of striker (the provisions of clause 41.2 shall apply), or<br />
b) The No Ball was the result of a fielding restriction breach, in which case the field may be changed to the extent of<br />
correcting the breach. The umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm<br />
straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.<br />
Note: Free hit positioning of the keeper and other factors<br />
Fielders cannot move unless there has been change of strikes. For clarity, the keeper must stay back or up and<br />
not change his position unless there has been a change of striker. Short leg can go off the field if he considers<br />
staying in his original position is too dangerous. Keeper and fielders can put on helmets if they feel it is necessary.<br />
If the front foot no ball is called and at the same time there is a fielding infringement that would have been called<br />
anyway. The captain is entitled to change his field to prevent a further and on going fielding infringement.<br />
(Now in the playing conditions part b) Should there be any foot fault No ball bowled and called, then irrespective<br />
of another type of No ball breach off the same delivery, the next ball shall be a “free hit”.…<br />
