Lancashire League Handbook 2024

LCL Handbook 2024 92 19.2.3 In the event of the scores being tied in a quarter-final, semi-final or final when the DLS method has been used, no account shall be taken of wickets lost. The teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine the winner. The following procedure will apply should the provision for a one over per side eliminator be adopted in any match: Subject to weather conditions the one over per side eliminator will take place at a time to be determined by the umpires. In normal circumstances it shall commence 10 minutes after the conclusion of the match. The one over per side eliminator will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by the umpires in consultation with the ground authority. The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they finished the match. In both innings of the one over per side eliminator, the fielding side shall choose from which end to bowl. Only nominated players in the main match may participate in the one over per side eliminator. Should any player (including the batters and bowler) be unable to continue to participate in the one over per side eliminator due to injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reason, the relevant Laws and Playing Conditions as they apply in the main match shall also apply in the one over per side eliminator. Any penance time being served in the main match shall be carried forward to the one over per side eliminator. Each team’s over is played with the same fielding restrictions as apply for a non-Field Restriction Over in a normal NatWest Club T20 match. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the one over eliminator. The Umpires shall select a ball from the box of spare balls which shall be used for both overs of the one over per side eliminator. The ball to be used shall not be a new ball and should have the apparent wear characteristics of a ball that has had between 5 and 20 overs of usage. For the avoidance of doubt, a ball used in the main match shall not be used in the one over per side eliminator. If the ball needs to be changed, then playing conditions as stated for the main match shall apply.
