UKFast Cheshire Cricket League Match Rules 1st & 2nd XI Divisional League Championship - For Win/Lose/Draw Cricket f) After a match has commenced the limit on overs for the first innings cannot be reduced. g) In the event of stoppages for inclement conditions in either innings after play has commenced the first aggregated 15 minutes of stoppage, less any minutes of delay at the start of the match (see 14a above) shall not result in any reduction of overs. Thereafter, one over shall be deducted from the second innings for every 3.5 minutes of stoppage. - For Win/Lose Cricket h) For Win/Lose cricket after the game has commenced subsequent stoppages reduce the innings by one over per side for each 7 mins lost. At the interval between innings Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method is used to determine the par score for a tie and the par score plus one run for the win. If there are further stoppages then before the commencement of play a new par score is calculated. If the team batting second does not get to continue their innings and each side has batted a minimum of 20 overs then DLS is used to decide the result. i) The UKFast Cheshire Cricket League has adopted the play-cricket scorer app to calculate the DLS par score. This app is free to use and can be downloaded from your device's store. The DLS portion of the App does not require login and can be used offline. Instructions are available on play-cricket for using the App. No other App is allowed and it is the captains' responsibility to ensure they have access to the app and the knowledge to use it. 15.
