The BCCI has informed the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 teams that the Super Over must be completed within an hour after the stipulated 40 overs. The match referee will oversee the timing to ensure the result is determined within this period.
If a T20 game is tied, teams will receive six balls each to determine the winner. But if the Super Over ends in a tie, another Super Over will be played.
The BCCI has also informed that teams will be allowed one unsuccessful DRS each during this period. The Board has issued guidelines to all the teams after the captains’ meeting in Mumbai on Thursday.
“The first Super Over has to start within 10 minutes of the main match finishing. If the first Super Over is a tie, then the subsequent Super Over must start five minutes after its completion. The match referee will inform the captains which will be the final super over, if he feels that the period of 1 hour is going to be breached. All player warnings and penance time unserved in the main match will be carried forward into the Super Over. The Match Referee will inform Captains of any Time restrictions subject to the MPC on interrupted Super Over,” the communication said.
