Big Bash League scraps controversial boundary count-back rule which decided 2019 World Cup final

India TV News  

The controversial boundary rule which gave England their maiden 50-over World Cup title will not be used in this year's Big Bash T20 tournaments in Australia. On Tuesday, Cricket Australia tweaked tournament regulations to avoid a repeat of this year's controversial World Cup final when England were announced as champions on account of their superior boundary count against New Zealand, after the end of the stipulated overs and the subsequent Super Over. However, under the new rules put in place by CA for Big Bash Leagues, if two teams are tied at the end of a final and then again after a Super Over, subsequent Super Overs will be played until there is a clear winner. CA's Head of Big Bash Leagues Alistair Dobson hoped the move would please fans, citing the Sydney Sixers' thrilling Super-Over semi-final win over the Melbourne Renegades last summer.
