Length Of Matches

Start of Match
1. In order for any team to be ready to take the field, a minimum of 8 players must be present at the ground prior to the start of the game. The incomplete team can borrow 3 players (Not in the other teams of the competition). These 3 players are only allowed to do fielding; they can not bat & bowl. For any team that is not ready to take the field at the designated start time, due to late arrival or any other reason, the umpires have the right to start the match; in this case, the team which arrives late will bat for reduced number of overs while the opponent bats for full quota of their overs. This is the punishment for the team arriving late. If the team fails to arrive even after that time, all weather conditions permitting, the game would be cancelled and awarded to the team that was ready for play. In such a case, the team at fault shall receive zero points and their opponents wins that game.
2. The Captains shall conduct the toss at least 10 minutes prior to the start of the game. In the event that a captain is not present, his team must nominate a deputy for the toss.

4. We have to vacate ground strictly at 8:00 pm. It is captain's responsibility to vacate his team out of ground as soon as the match ends.

Bowling Restrictions
1. It is the responsibility of the fielding captain to ensure that a reasonable over rate is maintained. Umpires will advise captains when over rates deteriorate.
2. If the team fielding first does not complete their 15 overs in the 60 min allocated, the number of overs completed when the time expires will be noted. They will then continue bowling until 15 overs have been bowled or all batsmen are out. They will then have as many overs that they had bowled in 45 min to score the number runs that the team batting first scored. If an over is in progress when time expires, the number of over to be allocated will be rounded up to the next highest whole number. This decision would be taken solely by umpires considering all the issues:- Time wasted by the bowling team, Time wasted by batting team, Time wasted due to unavailability of balls and etc
3. If the match is reduced to lesser overs, the bowling team has to complete allocated overs in remaining time and the same rule would be considered as explained above
