New Super Over Rules for IPL 2025

The BCCI recently briefed all IPL franchise captains about the updated Super Over regulations before IPL 2025. Here’s a detailed look at the key changes:

1. One Hour Dedicated for Super Overs

• If a match ends in a tie, an hour will be allocated to complete the Super Overs.
• Multiple Super Overs can be played within this one-hour period until a winner is determined.
• The first Super Over must start within 10 minutes after the completion of the main match.
• If the first Super Over is tied, the next one must begin within 5 minutes after its conclusion.

2. Unlimited Super Overs Until Result is Achieved

• If the first Super Over results in a tie, subsequent Super Overs will be played until a winner emerges.
• The match referee will inform the captains about the final Super Over if the one-hour period is nearing completion.
• Super Overs will continue until the time limit is exhausted, after which the match will be declared a tie if no result is found.

3. One Review Allowed in Each Super Over

• Each team is allowed one unsuccessful player review in every Super Over.
• The Decision Review System (DRS) will be in place during Super Overs to avoid umpiring errors in crucial moments.

4. Super Over Setup and Rules

• Each team faces one over of six balls, and the team with the most runs wins.
• If a team loses two wickets, their Super Over innings ends.
• The team batting second in the main match will bat first in the Super Over.
• The ball used in the Super Over can be chosen from a box of spare balls provided by the umpires, which includes the ones used in the main match.

5. Subsequent Super Over Guidelines

• If a subsequent Super Over is required, the team that batted second in the previous Super Over will bat first.
• The ball used in the previous Super Over will continue to be used in subsequent Super Overs.
• Any player who was dismissed in a previous Super Over cannot bat again in the next one.

6. Super Over Venue and Time Allocation

• The Super Over will take place on the same pitch as the main match unless deemed unfit by the umpires.
• If there is any delay or interruption, extra time will be allocated to complete the Super Over.

What Happens if the Super Over is Abandoned?

If the Super Over or any subsequent Super Overs are unable to be completed due to weather or any other reason, the match will be declared a tie, and points will be shared between the teams.
