Super Over

In 2017, the ICC introduced the Super Over for the knockout stages of that year's Women's Cricket World Cup and Champions Trophy.

[7][8] The 2019 Cricket World Cup Final marked the first-ever ODI to be decided by a Super Over.

Previously, if a Super Over ended in a tie, the winner was first determined by the number of boundary sixes hit by each team across both innings.

In October 2019, the ICC amended the rule: Each consecutive Super Over must take place five minutes after the previous one.

[12] In the 2014–15 season, the Big Bash League introduced a variation of the rules, allowing each team to use all ten wickets in their Super Over innings.

[15] A Super Over is not considered part of the main match; therefore, the runs scored and wickets taken during it are not added to a player's career statistics.

Journalist Sambit Bal described this use as unnecessary outside of knockout stages, arguing that a tie is a satisfactory result for both teams and in terms of entertainment value.
