The bowl-out used in T20 is undergoing a change. The possibility of replacing the bowl-out with a one-over eliminator in the case of a tied game will be discussing during the ICC Committee meeting.
Under the rules for the new tie-breaker, each team will nominate three batsmen and one bowler. Each side bats one over, with the innings being declared closed if it loses two wickets. If the teams finish tied on runs scored in that one over, the side with the higher number of sixes in its full innings and in the one-over eliminator will be declared the winner. If the teams are still tied, the one with the higher number of fours in both innings will win.
The on-going Asia Cup is the first instance to introduce this new scheme. The final of the Asia Cup will have this new rule, if it ends in a tie. If approved, it will also be applicable in the semi-finals and final of the Champions Trophy later this year and the World Twenty20 in England next year.
