The batting side will rotate its batsmen in each innings - if a batsman has been in for 1 over or less and is still not-out he will continue batting in the next game. |

If five wickets fall before 5 overs are completed, the last remaining batsman bats on with the fifth batsman acting as a runner. He always takes strike. The innings is complete when the sixth wicket falls. |
| 10 |
Batsmen retire not out on reaching 31 runs. The idea being to reach 36 runs by hitting 6 sixes. A retired batsman can return to the crease after lower-order batsmen either retire or are out. |

If there is a tie after the group stage or the final there will be a super over -
Each team nominates three batsmen and a bowler. The team that scores the most runs in its Super Over is the winner of the match. A team's Super Over ends if it loses two wickets.
If the scores in the Super Over are tied, the match is won by the team that has scored the most sixes in their innings, failing that fours, threes etc. |
