Super-over, One-over eliminator, eliminator, Oopse


A super over, also called a one-over eliminator or officially a one over per side eliminator or Oopse is a tie-breaking method used in limited-overs cricket matches

Both teams play a single, additional over of six balls to determine the winner of the match

A match which goes to a super over is officially declared a "tie", and won by the team who had scored the most runs in the super over. If the super over also ends in a tie, the winner is typically decided by the number of boundaries scored throughout the match

Each team selects three batters, giving them two wickets for their super over

The team who batted second in the match bats first in the super over

If the super overs of both teams also end in a tie, the winner is determined by the number of boundaries scored throughout the match and super over

If the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method was used during the match, the super over immediately goes to the count-back criteria
