The thrilling first One-Day International (ODI) of the ongoing three-match series between India and Sri Lanka here has sparked a debate in the cricket fraternity following the decision of the ICC match officials to forgo a Super Over to enforce a result out of that tied game.
Initially, it was believed that tie-breaker over was only applicable in ICC and multi-team events, where a result is mandatory. However, a Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) official, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that a Super Over was indeed an option, as per the ICC`s December 2023 ODI playing conditions. This provision is also included in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by both boards for this ongoing tour, making it applicable to this series.
