First One Day International (ODI) match between Sri Lanka and India ended in a tie without a Super Over being played, sparking questions and confusion among fans and experts.
Match officials said that the absence of a Super Over was due to it being applicable only in ICC events and not in bilateral series. However, further information has emerged indicating that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Sri Lanka-India bilateral tour stipulates that ICC’s December 2023 ODI playing conditions apply to the series.
According to these playing conditions, a Super Over should have been played in the event of a tie to determine the match winner.
As of now, there has been no official clarification from the match officials or the ICC regarding the decision not to play a Super Over.
It remains unclear whether there was an agreement prior to the series to omit Super Overs from tied matches, or if this was an oversight by the officials in charge of the game. (Newswire)
