ICC learned a big lesson from the final drama
KARACHI: ICC has learned a big lesson from the final drama of World Cup 2019 as boundaries will not count for tie breakers this time.
The final played in England in
2019 ended in a very controversial manner, in which England was declared the
winner against New Zealand, after the match was tied, the super over also
remained equal due to the boundaries made by both teams. It was calculated that
the English team was ahead, which led to them being declared champions, much to
the dismay of Kiwi fans.
Unlike in 2019, boundaries will not count for tiebreakers, with multiple overs possible. Photo: Express WebTaking a lesson from this
controversy, this time the ICC clarified that not only the knockout, but if the
score is equal in all matches, then there will be a super over, if the score is
equal in this too, then there will be another super over. In this way, the
series can continue until the winning side is determined.
Like the last World Cup, this
time also all the teams will play 9 matches in the preliminary stage, 2 points
for victory and 1 point for no decision, top 4 teams will play semi-final, if 2
or more sides are equal in points. Then only the teams with better run rate
will be able to participate in the knockout match. A reserve day has also been
set aside for semi-finals and finals.
It should be remembered that the
World Cup in India is starting on Thursday, the finalist teams of the last mega
event, England and New Zealand, will compete in the opening match. will
