Normal laws of the game of cricket apply except where stated below
Field placings – organised scatterings!
Each team will have a Captain who is responsible for ensuring his players take the field on time and that the games are played within the ‘spirit’ of Sticky Wicket
Captain’s to toss during the previous match’s innings
Each team will be made up of a mixed squad of up to ten players with eight players playing per side in each game
Each side will bowl five overs per game with no player bowling more than one over per innings
The penalty for both a wide and no ball will be no extra ball and three runs for the batting side, except in the last over when the standard one run and an extra ball will be bowled for each infringement
A wide will be given if the ball is bowled down the leg side or outside the return crease on the off side
Each batsman has to retire at twenty but may return at the end of the innings if the side is bowled out – last man stands
The points awarded for the result of each game are as follows: Winner = 4 points, Tie = 2 points, Loss = 1 point
The winner in each Group qualifies for the semi-final plus the top second position in all groups by points. If level on points positions are calculated by ‘Net Run Rate’ which is runs scored per balls in all games played. The 5th and 6th highest points scorers (or by net run rate if level) qualify for the Plate Final.
