MELBOURNE: A ´Super Over´ will be used to determine the winner of this year´s World Cup if the final ends in a tie, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Thursday.
The tiebreaker, in which a team nominates three batsmen to face six deliveries from a rival bowler, was in place in the 2011 final but was scrapped in the lead-up to next month´s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. “The ICC Board reinstated the use of a Super Over in the event of a tie in the World Cup final,” cricket´s governing body said in a statement on Thursday. The ICC is also allowing captains to enter the tournament with a clean slate regarding minor over-rate offences.
