Twenty (20) overs per innings, to be finished in 80 minutes.

No Ball: any foot violation resulting in a No Ball will entitle the batsman to a Free Hit on the following ball. Field settings may not be changed for the Free Hit delivery. Any illegal delivery (a Wide Ball or any No Ball) on a Free Hit will result in the following delivery also being a Free Hit. For purposes of dismissing a batsman, a Free Hit is to be treated as a No Ball – e.g. can not be bowled, caught, lbw, etc., but can be run out.

  2. to the team having scored the higher number of boundaries during only their regular batting innings;
