• The innings will be deemed closed at the fall of the 7th wicket
• Any team batting second shall continue to bat out their full number of overs even if they have surpassed the team batting first’s total. Or until they have been bowled out.

• Bowl-Outs: Each team member excluding the wicket-keeper shall bowl one ball at a set of unmanned stumps. No balls and wides shall be counted as a ball bowled and not retaken, any hits from no balls shall not be recorded. The team with the most hits recorded by the umpires shall be deemed the winners.
