That's it! What a thrilling and extraordinary contest this surely was! Only time helped to split the two sides, nothing else could have really worked as it seemed. There were ups and downs in this game for both sides, both sides been through similar amount of strain; though nothing could have been as tough as this defeat for the Indian players, management and their fans. They came a long way and emerged as a supreme side. They had lots of players in form, with a thirst for the glory. This just wasn't a perfect day for them.

I have an issues with the match result. First time in my last three years at PC, I will be questioning the match result. It's really unfair for us according to what the outcome has been.

If NZ has won the game in first innings, we have won in the second innings. We have declared the innings with 8 wickets in hand and almost bowling out NZ with 9 wickets at 200+ odd runs. They had a lead of just 8 runs while we are leading with more than 100 runs and just need one wicket to win and mind you, there are no established batsman left. Both of the batsman are tailenders and they would've been gone with 2-3 overs. It isn't a t20 game to be unpredictable.

I'm sorry to say this but yeah, I'm not happy with it.

I was thinking the same to be honest. This is not really fair for the loosing team. Pretty sure another 10 overs max India would have claimed an easy win. May be in future someone need to come up with a better solution to deal with this.

Well, it is what it is, but perhaps you should make the final timeless.

I completely understand this, and in my honest opinion India 'could've' clinched the victory if there were a few more overs to be bowled. But technically the match resulted in a draw, there's no actual winner and since the situation demands a winner as one team has to feature in final, this rule was implemented:
If a semi-final is drawn/tied, team with first innings lead will progress.
Now the statement above is not something I've came up with now just to run off the situation, it's been there for a while, rules were made pretty clear at the commencement of this league ( refer post #2).

Since I had to choose a winners out of play-off semi-final and the final in case of a draw, I followed the standards used by one of the oldest and well reputed first-class tournaments (Ranji trophy and Sheffield cup). It's not something of my own, something I'd force on any of you guys. This & this are examples of it where team with first innings lead were declared winners as neither team could actually won the game.

May be in future someone need to come up with a better solution to deal with this.
Interesting thing you said; because considering the current situation it seems pretty 'unfair' for one team to not win despite their efforts while other team has escaped just like that. I couldn't think about a better way to deal this, and if were to - I'll need to count on a lot of factors; as to: i. all overs are being bowled and team chasing target is X men down with a deficit of Y runs (X and Y being any possibility) ii. rain hits the play on day 4 during third innings (game is not being played further), team that batted in second innings is leading although team that batted in first innings is in more good shape during third innings. That creates many possibilities. To be honest I don't think I could've come with up a convenient formula based on such considerations. It could've been something familiar to Duckworth-Lewis system if it even existed. Now many of us don't really understand sometimes that how DL method works. To me, it's more complicated than I think and that's a very reason I didn't want to start with creating one such method as if I didn't understand it in first place, so would nobody.

Ed: If you guys have anything to offer, you should. :)

Thanks for suggestion but I'm not really in control of that since my only job is to put the ratings into simulator, and the simulator returns rest.

May be in future, most wicket taken team can be declared as a winners...
Team A (1st inn): 450/2 declares
Team B (1st inn): 700/9 declares
Team A (2nd inn): 100/6

Suppose this match is drawn, I'm not sure now how that would be convincing as Team A would win based on your suggestion.
