the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s)
the team with the highest net run rate
Net Run Rate (NRR)
Net run rate has become the preferred method of breaking ties in multi-team one day international tournaments. It is often misunderstood, but really quite simple to understand.
Number of runs scored divided by number of overs. If team loses all 10 wickets, then the number of runs scored is divided by the maximum number of overs possible for that innings.
For team 1: team 1 run rate minus team 2 run rate
For team 2: team 2 run rate minus team 1 run rate
Example:
Team 1 bats first and scores 200 for 9 wickets after 20 overs
Team 2 batting second scores 120 for 10 wickets after 15 overs.
Team 1 run rate = 200 / 20 = 10
Team 2 run rate = 120 / 20 = 6
Team 1 net run rate: 10 ? 6 = 4
Team 2 net run rate: 6 ? 10 = -4
Void Matches
As outlined in above sections, players must announce who's batting first , submit save game file, their inning scorecard and match summary by certain dates . Failure to do so get a NRR of -1 and opposition team will awarded a NRR of +1.
