If any player outside the submitted list plays, the match will be awarded to the opponent

The umpire’s decision is final
Only team captains are allowed to speak with the umpire

Matches must start at the scheduled time
Late teams may face over reduction, as decided by the umpire
5. No Rescheduling:
Once the schedule is released, no changes will be made under any condition
?️ Rain Rules (DLS Method):
If a match is completely abandoned due to rain, both teams will get 1 point
If the second innings completes at least 6 overs, the result will be decided using the DLS method
If not, the match will be declared abandoned
? Knockout Matches (LTP):
The losing team pays the full ground & umpire charges.
(In case of night matches: 70:30 ratio will apply for ground charges, umpire fee will still be shared 50:50.)
