[last_knight]

World Cup 2019 - What's the rule for tie-breakers?

In case of 2 or more teams finishing round stage at equal points, what rule will be used for tie breaker ?

Head to Head or NRR ?

Super Over is applicable in Round/KO stages or not at all ?

It's always net run rate that dictates postion in standings in group stages if points are tied in World Cup or any tournament for that matter.

As far as what would happen if the knockouts were tied I am sure the ICC announces the playing conditions for each different World Cup but for the last World Cup in 2015 the conditions were as follows announced by ICC.

Quarter Final : If a quarter-final is tied, abandoned or if the match is a no result, then the team that finished in the higher position in the Pool stage shall proceed to the semi-finals.

Semi Final: If a semi-final is tied, abandoned or if the match is a no result, then the team that finished in the higher position in the Pool stage shall proceed to the final.

Final: If the Final is tied, abandoned or if the match is a no result, then the teams will be declared joint winners

So I assume it will be similar this time around with Semi-Finals being tied than the team higher on the standings list in the group stages will advance to the final. And if a final gets tied it's always been said that it will be shared.

In my opinion these things are kind of outdated and we should have a clear cut winner. If that means holding a reserve day for knockouts or a super over, we should always get a clear winner in knockouts.

Tie breakers? Oh yeah, we've got tie breakers. If any teams are locked on equal points after the group stage, they will have the tie broken by the following methods, in order: 1 The team with the most wins; 2 The team with the best Net Run Rate; 3 Head-to-head result (points, then if still equal, Net Run Rate). And if all that doesn't work, it will revert to the seedings for this tournament (more on that below).

Super Overs? Only in the knockout games. If scores are tied in a semi-final or the final itself, we'll have a Super Over. If conditions prevent a Super Over from being completed (including on the reserve day) in the semi-final, then the higher-ranked team goes through to the final. If there's a tie in the final and there's no way to complete a Super Over, then we'll have joint winners.

The Super Over format is pretty standard. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the Super Over. The bowler can choose whichever end to bowl from, and each team gets one review. If two wickets fall, that ends the over.

If scores are tied after the Super Over, the team that scored more boundaries (fours and sixes combined) in the match wins, and if that's still a tie, we have a countback from the final ball of the Super Over until one team scored more than the other off a delivery.

Net Run Rate? It could be important, but this is real maths boffin territory. Basically, to get the Net Run Rate you work out the average runs scored per batting over throughout the tournament, and then subtract the average runs conceded per bowling over through the tournament. Got it? Now, if it rains …. Actually, best we leave it to OPTA and the real maths whizzes.

But what if it rains? Fair question, the tournament is in England and Wales after all. The tournament will use the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method and during the group stage, results will be determined on the day. All knockout matches, however, have reserve days allocated so if England really rolls out the summer weather clichés and the game can't be completed on the scheduled day, teams will be able to pack up and return the next day for both semi-finals and the final.

And if, in this time of a global climate crisis, the entire group stage is washed out (hey, it could happen!) the semi-finals would be South Africa (1) v England (4) and India (2) v Australia (3), as per the ICC's seedings.

 

[Gilly]

So this would be SA best chance, if all the matches get washed out then SA win (with england) the WC.

 

[last_knight]

Can't recall if we have had a super over in an ODI.

Reserve days for KO matches. Hahahaha

 

[DHONI183]

Thanks for the appreciation guys! It´s all down to the PP staff team which has given me the honour to initiate this. Otherwise, it is as once a girl wrote to me in German, "What am I and what is my worth?"

I´ve approved 13 entrants, guys. Keep them coming as we need more members!

There´s no Super Over in ODI cricket for non knock-out - from what I know. So no in this case.

Did anyone predicted a thrashing for South Africa?

The standings tell me that no one did that!

 

[DHONI183]

Oh´ well, what happened today?! The standings suggest that hardly 20 of the 60 participants predicted West Indies to win. I was one of them by the way.

 

[DHONI183]

Guys, remember that there´ll be two matches played tomorrow: New Zealand will face Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will be up against Australia.
