54 3:20 in September). The reason being that the time allowed will not permit the minimum 20 overs to be bowled. It will be declared a “no result”. viii) During a match: ground, weather and/or light conditions, injury/ illness to players/officials, may cause the deduction of overs from either/both innings. All calculations for the deduction of overs are based on “Time Lost”. For the purpose of this rule, all references to “Time Lost” are to be calculated as follows. “Time Lost” will be the number of minutes counted from the start of any interruption or delay, to the time agreed by the Umpires for play to start or re-start. This means that if play should start /re-start earlier or later than the designated time decided by the Umpires, the original calculation will remain unchanged. 3.4. In a game delayed or interrupted by ground and/or weather conditions providing time allows the side batting second to receive 20 or more overs (it being acknowledged that the Team may not need to receive the said number of overs to pass the first innings score and thereby win the match) the target score to be achieved by the side batting second shall be calculated on the Duckworth Lewis Stern method. The DLS par score shall be displayed on or near to the scoreboard throughout the second innings. 3.5. Any over not completed either through injury to the bowler or any other reason shall be completed by another bowler. Subject to the following numerical restrictions . Note that a part over bowled by a bowler will be considered as a full over in respect of that particular bowler’s allocation. Where an innings is interrupted, and overs are lost, the number of overs permitted to be bowled by an individual bowler will reduce as the available overs for that innings reduce. As follows: 50 1 x15 & 3 x 13 40-44 1 x13 & 3 x 11 35-39 1 x11 & 3 x 10 30-34 1 x 10 & 3 x 8 25-29 1 x 9 & 3 x 7 20-24 1 x 7 & 3 x 6 15-19 1 x 6 & 3 x 5 3.6. The interval between innings shall be 25 minutes. This will be reduced to 10 minutes in any match affected by ground or weather conditions provided that the two Captains agree to take tea during stoppage in play during the first innings of the match and so inform the umpires before taking tea. In these circumstances the Teams will not retake the field until the expiration of the said 10 minutes, even if the Umpires in the meantime deem conditions fit for play to resume. 3.7. Up to but no more than two drink breaks of no more than 2 minutes duration shall be allowed in any one innings provided always that this has been agreed between the Captains and Umpires before the start of the game.
