THE LAWS OF CRICKET
THE PREAMBLE - THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET
Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that itshould be played not only within its Laws but also with in the Spirit of theGame. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to thegame itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fairplay rests with the captains.
1. There are two Laws which place the responsibility for the team’sconduct firmly on the captains.
i. Responsibility of Captains:The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play isconducted within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws.
ii. Player’s Conduct:In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire,or criticizing by word or action the decisions of an umpire, or showingdissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the gameinto disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report thematter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain, and instruct thelatter to take action.
2. Fair and Unfair Play:According to the Laws the Umpires are the sole judges of fair andunfair play. The umpires may intervene at any time and it is theresponsibility of the captain to take action where required.
3. The Umpires are authorised to Intervene in cases of :- Time wasting.- Damaging the pitch.- Dangerous or unfair bowling.- Tampering with the ball.- Any other action that they consider to be unfair.

In the event of teams finishing on equal points in their sections, the winner will bedetermined in the following order of priority:
The team with the most number of wins;
57
The team which was the winner of the head to head match played between themwill be placed in the higher position;
If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points; If still equal, the team with the highest run rate; The team that have scored the most number of runs in its matches throughout
the tournament and The team losing the lesser number of wickets throughout the tournament;
Note:Where a team scratches, or has deemed to have scratched aleague fixture, its opponents shall be awarded the averagenumber of points as that obtained by the teams winning onthe same day.
12.1. Delayed or Interrupted Matches – calculation of the Target Score
If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of overs inthe innings of either team has to be revised to a lesser number thanoriginally allotted (minimum of 20 overs), then a revised target score (to win)should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will havethe opportunity of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the currentRun Rate method.
12.2. Correctness of resultAny query on the result of the match shall be resolved as soon aspossible and a final decision made by the umpires at close of play.
12.3. PointsThe points system is as follows:
Win, with bonus point 5Win, without bonus point 4Tie/No Result/Washout 2Loss 0
12.4. Run RateA team’s run rate is calculated by dividing the total runs by the number of oversbowled.
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculationof its run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have beenentitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed. Onlythose matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of run ratecalculation.
58
13 Bonus Points .
If no result is achieved on the day, the match shall be declared a "No Result" match.
The team that achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the oppositionshall be awarded one bonus point. A team's run rate will be calculated byreference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the number ofovers faced.
In line with National and International competitions the winning team canearn a maximum of 1(one) bonus point in a league match. The losingteam cannot earn a bonus point.
“In a full game a side batting second can gain a bonus point by reachingtheir target within 40 overs” or “the side bowling second can gain abonus point by restricting the opposition to a score of less than 80% ofthe target and win the match”, e.g. Team batting first scores 240, teambowling second must restrict the opposition to 191 or less to qualify forthe bonus point. (240 – 20% = 192)
In reduced games the target/overs will be adjusted proportionally.
Reduced Games
1 Bonus point for any team that achieves victory with a run rate 1.25times that of the opposition. (Target x100/125)
14. Mode of deliveryLaw 24.1 (b) shall be replaced by the following:

For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances thatapply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball.
Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change ofstriker.
