The umpires have admitted their mistake in not conducting a super over in the first match of the three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka, which was held between August 2 and 7. This match was tied. According to ESPN Cricinfo, field umpires Joel Wilson and Ravindra Wimalasiri, as well as referee Ranjan Madugalle, TV umpire Paul Rifle and fourth umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge have internally admitted that there was some confusion regarding the ICC’s rule of conducting a super over in case of a tie in an ODI match. They made a mistake in understanding it. The ICC’s playing rules stated that in case of a tie, the teams will play a super over to get a result. The umpires were confused whether the super over was allowed in the agreement between the Sri Lankan Board and the Board of Control for Cricket in India for this tour or not, but now it is clear that in all ODI matches that end in a tie, a super over will be played according to time and circumstances. What is the ICC rule
In 2023, the ICC had said in the new rules issued for ODI matches that if the scores of the teams are equal after the completion of both innings, then a super over will be played. If the super over is also tied, then there will be super overs until a winner is found. If a super over or match cannot be conducted to find a winner, then the match will be tied. The match was tied due to the fall of 2 wickets in the 48th over
In this match played in Colombo, Sri Lanka scored 230 runs for 8 wickets. Team India needed five runs in the last three overs to achieve the target of 231 runs, while it had two wickets left. Shivam Dubey hit a four, but in the 48th over, India lost wickets continuously, due to which the Indian team was also able to score only 230 runs in 47.5 overs after losing all the wickets and the match was tied. In this match, the umpires did not conduct a super over. Full news Sri Lanka won ODI series from India after 27 years
