12 LAW 12 - INNINGS
Law 12 shall apply subject to the following (see also clauses 15 and 16
below):
12.1 Law 12.1 - Number of
innings
Law 12.1 shall be replaced by the following:
All matches will consist of one innings per
side, each innings being limited to a maximum of 50 overs. All matches shall be
of one day’s scheduled duration provided that participating countries in a
series may agree to provide for a reserve day on which an incomplete match may
be replayed or continued from the scheduled day.
If the match is to be continued on the reserve day, the participating
countries may agree either that:
12.1.1 Any revision of overs only occurs on the final
scheduled day of the match; or
12.1.2 Every effort is made to complete the match on
the scheduled day with any necessary reduction in overs taking place and only
if the minimum number of overs necessary to constitute a match cannot be bowled
on the scheduled day will the match be completed on the reserve day.
12.1.3 If the match has started on the scheduled day
and overs are subsequently reduced following an interruption, but no further
play is possible, the match will resume on the reserve day under the same
assumption that the last ball was played on the scheduled day. Refer Appendix
9.
12.2 Law 12.2 - Alternate
innings
Law 12.2 shall not apply.
12.3 Law 12.3 - Completed
innings
Laws 12.3 (c), (d) and (e) (iii) shall not apply.
12.4 Length of Innings
12.4.1
Uninterrupted Matches.
a)
Each team shall bat for 50 overs unless all out
earlier.
b) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the
required number of overs by the scheduled time for cessation of the first
innings, play shall continue until the required number of overs has been
bowled. The interval shall be reduced to enable the second innings to commence
at the scheduled time, subject to there being a minimum interval of 30 minutes.
The team batting second shall receive its full quota of 50 overs irrespective
of the number of overs it bowled in the scheduled time for the cessation of the
first innings.
c) If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 50 overs, the team
batting second shall be entitled to bat for 50 overs.
d) If the team fielding second fails to bowl 50
overs by the scheduled cessation time, the hours of play shall be extended
until the required number of overs has been bowled or a result is achieved.
e)
Penalties shall apply for slow over rates (refer
ICC Code of Conduct).
12.4.2
Delayed or Interrupted Matches
a)
Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team
Batting First (see Appendix 1)
i) When playing time has been lost the revised
number of overs to be bowled in the match shall be based on a rate of 14.28
overs per hour, which is inclusive of the provision of drinks intervals, in the
total remaining time available for play.
ii) The revision of the number of overs should
ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the opportunity of batting for
the same number of overs. The team batting second shall not bat for a greater
number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in
less than its allocated overs. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 overs
have to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to a result not being
achieved earlier.
iii) As soon as the total minutes of playing time
remaining is less than the completed overs faced by Team 1 multiplied by 4.2,
then the first innings is terminated and the provisions of 12.4.2 (b) below take
effect.
iv) A fixed time will be specified for the
commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for the match, by
applying a rate of 14.28 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing
time available for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and
duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours, interruptions in
play, and intervals, excluding those for drinks, will be taken into
consideration. This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than
the original or rescheduled time for cessation of play on the final scheduled
day for play. If required the original time shall be extended to allow for one
extra over for each team.
v) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the
revised number of overs by the specified time, play shall continue until the
required number of overs have been bowled or the innings is completed.
vi)
Penalties shall apply for slow over rates (refer
to ICC Code of Conduct).
b)
Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team
Batting Second (see Appendix 2)
i) When playing time has been lost and, as a
result, it is not possible for the team batting second to have the opportunity
of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation of overs in the playing time
available, the number of overs shall be reduced at a rate of 14.28 overs per
hour, which is inclusive of the provision of drinks intervals, in respect of
the lost playing time. Should the calculations result in a fraction of an over
the fraction shall be ignored.
ii) In addition, should the innings of the team
batting first have been completed prior to the scheduled, or re-scheduled time
for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the
revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to
that by which the second innings started early has elapsed.
iii)
To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 overs
have to be bowled to the team batting second subject to a result not being
achieved earlier.
iv) The team batting second shall not bat for a
greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its
innings in less than its allocated overs.
v) A fixed time will be specified for the close of
play by applying a rate of 14.28 overs per hour. With the exception of drinks
intervals, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in
playing hours and interruptions in play, will be taken into consideration in
specifying this time.
vi) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the
revised overs by the scheduled or re-scheduled close of play, the hours of play
shall be extended until the overs have been bowled or a result achieved.
vii) Penalties shall apply for slow over rates (refer
ICC Code of Conduct).
12.5 Extra Time
The participating countries may agree to provide for extra time where
the start of play is delayed or play is suspended.
12.6 Number of Overs per Bowler
No bowler shall bowl more than 10 overs in an innings.
In a delayed or interrupted match where the
overs are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no bowler may
bowl more than one-fifth of the total overs allowed.
Where the total overs is not divisible by 5, one additional over shall
be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance.
In the event of a bowler breaking down and being
unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be allowed by another
bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each
bowler’s limit is concerned.
The scoreboard shall show the total number of overs bowled and the
number of overs bowled by each bowler.
12.7 Law 12.4 – The toss
Law 12.4 shall be replaced by the following:
The captains shall toss for the choice of
innings, on the field of play and in the presence of the ICC Match Referee, who
shall supervise the toss. The toss shall take place not earlier than 30
minutes, nor later than 15 minutes before the scheduled or any re-scheduled
time for the match to start. Note, however, the provisions of Law 1.3
(Captain).
13 LAW 13 - THE FOLLOW-ON
14 LAW 14 - DECLARATION AND
FORFEITURE
Law 14 shall not apply.
15 LAW 15 - INTERVALS
15.1 Law 15.5 - Changing agreed
times for intervals - Interval between Innings
If the innings of the team batting first is
completed prior to the scheduled time for the interval, the interval shall take
place immediately and the innings of the team batting second will commence
correspondingly earlier providing that this does not lead to an interval
occurring more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval.
If the innings of the team batting first is
completed more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval a 10 minute
break will occur and the team batting second will commence its innings and the
interval will occur as scheduled.
Where the innings of the side batting first is delayed or interrupted,
the length of the interval will be reduced as follows:
i) If up to 15 minutes of actual playing time is
lost (total playing time lost less any extra time provided), then the interval
will be reduced by the amount of actual playing time lost.
ii) If more than 15 minutes of actual playing time
is lost (total playing time lost less any extra time provided), then the
interval will be reduced to 30 minutes (subject to (iii) below).
iii) Note: The prescribed interval timings above may
be reduced further by the ICC Match Referee taking into account the intention
of not having a prolonged interval after a lengthy interruption close to the
conclusion of the innings of the team batting first. However, the minimum
interval shall not be less than ten minutes.
The umpires may decide to play 15 minutes (a
minimum of four overs) extra time at the scheduled interval if requested by
either captain if, in the umpires’ opinion, it would bring about a definite
result in that session. If the umpires do not believe a result can be achieved
no extra time shall be allowed.
If it is decided to play such extra time, the
whole period shall be played out even though the possibility of finishing the
match may have disappeared before the full period has expired.
Note: In addition to clauses i), ii) and iii) above, the length of the
Interval may be reduced by the ICC Match Referee should exceptional
circumstances arise.
15.2 Law 15.9 - Intervals for drinks
Two drinks breaks per session shall be
permitted, each 1 hour 10 minutes apart. The provisions of Law 15.9 shall be
strictly observed except that under conditions of extreme heat the umpires may
permit extra intervals for drinks.
An individual player may be given a drink either
on the boundary edge or at the fall of a wicket, on the field, provided that no
playing time is wasted. No other drinks shall be taken onto the field without
the permission of the umpires. Any player taking drinks onto the field shall be
dressed in proper cricket attire (subject to the wearing of bibs – refer to the
note in clause 2.2.3).
16 LAW 16 - START OF PLAY;
CESSATION OF PLAY
Law 16 shall apply subject to the following (see also clauses 15 and
12.4):
16.1 Start and Cessation Times
To be determined by the Home Board subject to there being 2 sessions of
3.5 hours each, separated by a 45 minute interval between innings.
Note: The playing hours of matches scheduled to take
place at venues where dew is likely to be a factor should be determined so as
to ensure that the effect of any dew
is minimised.
16.2 Laws 16.6, 16.7 and 16.8 shall not apply.
16.3 Laws 16.9, 16.10, and 16.11 shall apply in so far as they are relevant
to a one innings limited overs type match.
16.4 Minimum Over Rates
The minimum over rate to be achieved in ODI
matches will be 14.28 overs per hour. The actual over rate will be calculated
at the end of the match by the umpires.
In calculating the actual over rate for the match, allowances will be
given for the actual time lost as a result of any of the following:
16.4.1
treatment given to a player by an authorised
medical personnel on the field of play;
16.4.2
a player being required to leave the field as a
result of a serious injury;
16.4.3
all third umpire referrals and consultations;
16.4.4
time wasting by the batting side; and
16.4.5
all other circumstances that are beyond the
control of the fielding side.
In the event of any time allowances being
granted to the fielding team under 16.4.4 above (time wasting by batting team),
then such time shall be deducted from the allowances granted to such batting
team in the determination of its over rate.
If a side is bowled out within the time
determined for that innings pursuant to these playing conditions (taking into
account all of the time allowances set out above), the fielding side shall be
deemed to have complied with the required minimum over rate.
17 LAW 17 - PRACTICE ON THE
FIELD
Law 17 shall apply subject to the following:
17.1 Law 17.1 - Practice on the pitch or the rest
of the square
a) The use of the square for practice on any day of
any match will be restricted to any netted practice area or bowling strips
specifically prepared on the edge of the square for that purpose.
b) Bowling practice on the bowling strips referred
to in (a) above shall also be permitted during the interval (and change of
innings if not the interval) unless the umpires consider that, in the
prevailing conditions of ground and weather, it will be detrimental to the
surface of the square.
17.2 Law 17.3 -
Practice on the outfield between the call of play and the call of time
Law 17.3 shall apply save that Law 17.3 (c) shall be replaced with the

The playing area shall be a minimum of 150 yards
(137.16 metres) from boundary to boundary square of the pitch, with the shorter
of the two square boundaries being a minimum 65 yards (59.43 metres). The
straight boundary at both ends of the pitch shall be a minimum of 70 yards
(64.00 metres). Distances shall be measured from the centre of the pitch to be
used.
In all cases the aim shall be to provide the largest playing area,
subject to no boundary exceeding 90 yards (82.29 meters) from the centre of the
pitch to be used.
Any ground which has been approved to host international
cricket prior to 1st October 2007 or which is currently under construction as
of this date which is unable to conform to these new minimum dimensions shall
be exempt. In such cases the regulations in force immediately prior to the
adoption of these regulations shall apply.
19.2 Law 19.2 - Defining the
boundary - boundary marking
The following shall apply in addition to Law 19.2:
All boundaries must be designated by a rope or
similar object of a minimum standard as authorised by the ICC from time to
time. Where appropriate the rope should be a required minimum distance (3 yards
[2.74 metres] minimum) inside the perimeter fencing or advertising signs. For
grounds with a large playing area, the maximum length of boundary should be
used before applying the minimum 3 yards (2.74 meters) between the boundary and
the fence.
19.3 Law 19.3 - Scoring a
boundary
The following shall apply in addition to Law 19.3:
If an unauthorized person enters the playing
arena and handles the ball, the umpire at the bowler’s end shall be the sole

21.2.1 Save for circumstances where a match is awarded
to a team as a consequence of the opposing team’s refusal to play (Law 21.3), a
result can be achieved only if both teams have had the opportunity of batting
for at least 20 overs, unless one team has been all out in less than 20 overs
or unless the team batting second scores enough runs to win in less than 20
overs.
21.2.2 Save for circumstances where a match is awarded
to a team as a consequence of the opposing team’s refusal to play (Law 21.3),
all matches in which both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for a
minimum of 20 overs, shall be declared no result.
21.3 Law 21.3 – Umpire (ICC
Match Referee) awarding a match
Law 21.3 shall be replaced by the following:
a)
A match shall be lost by a side which either
i)
concedes defeat or
ii)
in the opinion of the ICC Match Referee refuses
to play and the ICC Match Referee shall award the match to the other side.
b) If an umpire considers that an action by any
player or players might constitute a refusal by either side to play then the
umpires together shall inform the ICC Match Referee of this fact. The ICC Match
Referee shall together with the umpires ascertain the cause of the action. If
the ICC Match Referee, after due consultation with the umpires, then decides
that this action does constitute a refusal to play by one side, he shall so
inform the captain of that side. If the
captain persists in the action the ICC Match
Referee shall award the match in accordance with (a)(ii) above.*
c) If action as in (b) above takes place after play
has started and does not constitute a refusal to play the delay or interruption
in play shall be dealt with in the same manner as provided for in clauses
12.4.2 and 15.1 above.
* N/B In addition to the consequences of any
refusal to play prescribed under this clause, any such refusal, whether

Law 21.4 shall not apply.
21.5 Law 21.5 (a) - A Tie

If the scores are equal, the result shall be a tie and no account shall
be taken of the number of wickets which have fallen.
21.6 Law 21.5 (b) - A Draw
Law 21.5 (b) shall not apply.
21.7 Prematurely Terminated
Matches - Calculation of the Target Score
21.7.1
Interrupted Matches - Calculation of the Target
Score
If, due to suspension of play after the start of
the match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to be revised
to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 20 overs), then a
revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the
team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This revised target is
to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method. The target set
will always be a whole number and one run less will constitute a Tie. (Refer
Duckworth/Lewis/Stern Regulations)
21.7.2
Prematurely Terminated Matches
If the innings of the side batting second is
suspended (with at least 20 overs bowled) and it is not possible for the match
to be resumed, the match will be decided by comparison with the DLS ‘Par Score’
determined at the instant of the suspension by the Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method
(refer Duckworth/Lewis/Stern Regulations). If the score is equal to the par
score, the match is a Tie. Otherwise the result is a victory, or defeat, by the
margin of runs by which the score exceeds, or falls short of, the Par Score.
21.8 Law 21.8 - Correctness of
result
Any query on the result of the match as defined
in Laws 21.2, 21.3, 21.5, 21.8 and 21.10 (as modified by these regulations)
shall be resolved as soon as possible and a final decision made by the umpires
at close of play.
21.9 Points
21.9.1
Preliminary Matches
In a competition with three or four Members with ODI status and with a
final match or series, the home Board will institute a points system as follows:
Win, with bonus point.............................. 5
Win, without bonus point......................... 4
Tie or No Result...................................... 2
Loss......................................................... 0
In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the right to play in
the final match or series will be determined as follows:
•
The team
with the most number of wins
•
If still
equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are
equal on points and have the same number of wins
•
If still
equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points
•
If still
equal, the team with the highest net run rate
In a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable.
21.9.2
Net Run Rate
A team’s net run rate is calculated by deducting
from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the competition,
the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition.
In the event of a team being all out in less
than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall be
based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not
on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed.
Only those matches where results are achieved
will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is
abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis/Stern, for net run
rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2’s Par Score on abandonment
off the same number of overs faced by Team 2.
Where a match is concluded but with
Duckworth/Lewis/Stern having been applied at an earlier point in the match,
Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final Target Score for Team
2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.
21.9.3 Bonus Points
The team that achieves a run rate of 1.25 times
that of the opposition shall be awarded one bonus point. A team’s run rate wi
ll be calculated by reference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the
number of overs faced. Refer Appendix 6 5
21.9.4
Final Match or Series
If no result is achieved in a final the match shall be declared drawn.
In the event of a drawn final, the prize money will be shared equally
between the two competing teams.
22 LAW 22 - THE OVER
Law 22 shall apply subject to the following:
22.1 Law 22.5 - Umpire
miscounting
The following shall apply in addition to Law 22.5:
Whenever possible the third umpire shall liaise with the scorers and if
possible inform the on-field umpires if the over has been miscounted.
