Lancashire League Handbook 2024

LCL Handbook 2024 93 The loss of two wickets in the over ends the team’s one over innings. In the event of the teams having the same score after the one over per side eliminator has been completed, if the original match was a tie under the D/L method, clause 10.3.13 immediately applies. Otherwise, the team whose batters hit the most number of boundaries combined from its two innings in both the main match and in the one over per side eliminator shall be the winner. If the number of boundaries hit by both teams is equal, the team whose batters scored more boundaries during its innings in the main match (ignoring the over per side eliminator) shall be the winner.

However, team 1 scored 2 runs from its 4th ball while team 2 scored a single so team 1 is the winner. 20. No Ball Penalty 20.1 The penalty for a no ball will be One run. 20.2 Free Hit after any form of No Ball In addition to 20.1. above, the delivery following a no ball called for any form of No Ball shall be a free hit for whichever batter is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any form of no ball or a wide ball), then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batter is facing. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball even if the delivery for
