On Friday night time on the R. Premadasa Stadium, nonetheless, when Arshdeep Singh’s dismissal resulted in each groups being levelled at 230, the gamers and officers walked off with out taking part in the Tremendous Over.
The related part that offers with tied video games within the taking part in circumstances is rule 16.3.1.1, which states: “If the groups’ scores are equal after each innings have been accomplished (if relevant underneath DLS –see clause 16.4), then a Tremendous Over shall be performed.

Ought to it not be doable to play or to finish the Tremendous Overs wanted to find out a winner, the match shall be tied.”
It couldn’t be ascertained whether or not the taking part in circumstances have been amended for the continuing three-match collection or whether or not the match officers — match referee Ranjan Madugalle and on-field umpires Joel Wilson and Raveendra Wimalasiri — had a real oversight of the rulebook.
