The umpire’s decision is final.

Only captains may discuss or appeal decisions.

Captains must ensure teammates do not get involved in discussions.

2. Extras & Overthrows

Extras: Wide, high no ball, and overstep no ball apply.

Wide Ball: If the ball pitches outside the wide line but comes inside the crease, it’s not a wide (will be explained on ground).

Overthrows: Allowed only if both teams have at least 9 players (including double side player).

Offside Overthrows : If it crosses the offside boundary, as usual maximum runs of 2 runs will be provided . Near the backside wall, where we don't have runs, Batsman have to run and get the run for overthrows .

Dead Ball: No runs; ball is re-bowled. If the ball pitches more than once, it’s a dead ball, regardless of where it lands.

Bouncers: 1 bouncer per over allowed; a 2nd bouncer is a no ball plus a free hit.

This rule does not apply to common/double side players.
