The revised time allowance and the maximum number of overs per bowler is shown in Appendix A, Table 2 for the Championship, and Appendix B, Table 2 for Division 1 and below. A minimum of 10 overs must be bowled to the team batting second to constitute a match (subject to the provisions of Rule 21). 20.2 Should an interruption have occurred during an over, on the resumption of play, the part over shall be completed in addition to the remaining number of overs remaining. 20.3 The total required to win is re-calculated using the Duckworth/Lewis method (see Rule 22), or Average Run Rate (see Rule 23). The batting side should always be aware of the target score required should the innings suffer from further interruptions or is ended and should attempt to always be ahead of this score to ensure victory. 21 The Result Championship only 21.1 Where the 1st innings did not consist of a minimum of 25 overs, and no result was gained, the match result will be ‘Cancelled’. 21.2 In matches where the 1st innings consisted of a minimum of 25 overs but there was insufficient time to allow the 2nd innings to consist of a minimum of 10 overs, unless the team batting second scores enough runs to win in less than 10 overs, the match result will be ‘Abandoned’.
