The ball to be used shall not be a new ball. 23.11 The loss of two wickets in the over ends the team’s one over innings. 23.12 In the event of the teams having the same score after the Super Over has been completed, the team whose batters hit the greatest number of boundaries in the Super Over shall be the winner. 23.13 If still equal, a count-back from the final ball of the Super Over. The team with the higher scoring delivery shall be the winner. If a team loses two wickets during its over, then any un-bowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls.

The side, which bowls down the wicket (as defined in Law 29.1.1) the most times, shall be the winner. If the scores are equal, the same players will bowl one ball alternately to achieve a result on a ‘sudden death’ basis. 24.3 The following shall also apply in respect of bowl-outs: The same suitably acceptable ball (not a new one) will be used by both teams. If the ball becomes wet, it may be changed subject to the Umpires’ approval. If a bowler bowls a No ball it will count as one of the two deliveries but will not count towards the score of the team.
