TWENTY20 CRICKET RULES – FOR 20 OVERS
The basic rules and laws of Twenty 20 cricket are fundamentally the same as a one inning one day international cricket match. In addition to that, following specific rules are applied to a Twenty 20 format of the game.
- All players in a team must play at least one game before Quarter-finals (Playing as 12th man will be considered as a game).
- Top eight teams from the round robin will advance for Quarter-final for DIV 1 and teams ranked 9-16 will advance for Quarter-final for DIV 2. In case of a tie game, there will be super over to decide the pool game.
- Quarter-finalist will be re-seeded from 1 to 16 according to their run rate.
- Net run rate will be calculated by the following formula:
- A team’s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition.
- In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed.
- Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2’s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.
- Each side must face 5 overs to apply the D/L rule, in case of rain.
- In case of forfeit, the winning team will be awarded the average run rate of the top 5 teams. The total run rate will be calculated by taking the average of the two games.
- FIELD RESTRICTIONS
- For 19-20 overs Match; maximum of two fielders can be outside the ring (inner circle) in the first 6 overs and a maximum of five fielders can be outside the ring for the remaining overs.
- For 16-18 Overs Match; maximum of two fielders can be outside the ring (inner circle) in the first 5 overs and a maximum of five fielders can be outside the ring for the remaining overs.
- For 12-15 Overs match; maximum of two fielders can be outside the ring (inner circle) in the first 4 overs and a maximum of five fielders can be outside the ring for the remaining overs.
- Overs per match may vary according to circumstances
- Only 5 fielders can field on the leg side at any point in time.
- Individual bowlers are permitted to bowl a maximum of four overs if there is no delay or interruption caused by rain otherwise the allocation will be adjusted accordingly.
- Each innings should last no longer than 75 minutes, equating to an average of 3 minutes 45 seconds per over.
- A bonus of 6 runs is awarded to the batting team in case the bowling team does not begin their 20th over before 75 minutes.
- Batsmen must be ready to take guard or in position at the bowler's end within 90 seconds of a wicket falling.
- Umpires may award five runs to one of the teams playing the Twenty 20 cricket match; in case the umpires feel that the other team is needlessly wasting time.
- There will be a 10-minutes interval between two innings of a match.
- Foot violation, No-balls will be penalized by a free-hit next ball - a batsman cannot be out from a free-hit delivery unless they are run out.
- Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury/illness or other wholly acceptable reasons. ‘Wholly acceptable reasons’ should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not include what is commonly referred to as a ‘comfort break.
- In case of a tie, there will be a “Super over”.
- It is up to the fielding side to decide which side of the pitch to deliver their first half of the overs from.
