It will not be a wide if the ball makes contact with the striker, his person or equipment, or the bat in hand before it passes the line of the stumps, or the ball passes between the striker and the leg stump. (ii) The overall winner of the competition will need to consult the rules and regulations regarding Law 25 prior to playing in the Mapperley Sports t20 Challenge Match against the winner of the South Nottinghamshire Cricket League t20 competition and if successful, the Nottinghamshire Premier League Finals Day and beyond.

(ii) For the final, the match balls shall be provided by the LMC. 8.10 Average Run Rate A team’s average run rate is calculated by dividing the number of runs scored in its innings by the number of legitimate balls received during the innings. In the case of the team batting first being dismissed in less than the number of overs allocated for their innings, the calculation will be based on the number of balls that the team was scheduled to receive and not on the number actually received. In the case of the team batting second being unable to receive their allocated overs, the calculation of their average run rate will be based on the actual number of legitimate deliveries by them during the innings. The average run rate can be calculated to any number of decimal positions and a tie can only be achieved if the average run rates are identical.
