11) If there is a rain interruption/ wet field due to overnight rain on scheduled
date/time, matches will not be rescheduled/pushed. Points will be equally shared
by both the teams and the match will be considered as No result.
a) In an instance where two matches have been called off for a particular
team due to rain/ground/pitch conditions, then the following matches will be
rescheduled by CIL if it happens to be abandoned. In other words, no
reschedule by CIL for first two matches call off. Each team have to play
minimum 4 matches with result to be a contender for play offs.
b) Given the above condition, in case if Team A had 2 No result matches
and their 3rd match against Team B which happened to be called off, then
the benefit will go to Team A. No matter if Team B had 1 or 0 No result
matches, this match will be rescheduled by CIL.
c) Scenario where there is a rain at 10 AM, but rain stops at 12:00 PM then 10
AM match will not be rescheduled/pushed to 12 PM. However the 12 PM
match will/can be played as per the schedule.
d) Alternatively if both the team captains are in mutual agreement and feels
that point share is not fair then they can very well reschedule the match and
play any time on or before the following Wednesday.
e) CIL is not responsible to coordinate/follow up on the matches where
captains/teams agreed to play other than the proposed CIL schedule. However
CIL could help to block the reserved slots if scheduled match is abandoned due to
rain, if both team captains agree upon to play certain date/time (on or before
following Wednesday), reschedule will not happen beyond Wednesday(unused
slots can be reused by the same teams outside of CIL tournament based on their

- If both teams are not available to play on scheduled day during Playoffs or
Finals and if they mutually agree to play on a different day than the
scheduled day, then the match should be completed on or before the
following Wednesday. If for any reason, the teams are not able to complete
the match on or before Wednesday then the team with higher position in
Points table during League stage will be the Winners of that match.
*** The above rule does not apply if the match cannot be played on scheduled day
because of rain. CIL will reschedule the matches on reserve days (based on ground
availability). Below listed dates will act as reserve days for the Playoffs and Finals:
Qualifier 1/Eliminator 07/23
Qualifier 2 07/30 (Provided Qualifier 1/Eliminator matches are completed on 07/16).
Else, 8/6 will act as a reserve day;
Finals :
8/6 (Provided Qualifier 2 is completed on 07/23).
8/13 (Provided Qualifier 2 is postponed and completed 07/30)
8/20 (Provided Qualifier 2 is postponed to 8/6 and pushed Finals schedule to 8/13);
In short, following Saturday will be the reserve day for each playoff game. Teams
can plan to play on Sunday or any weekday evenings before the reserve day, if both
teams agree mutually. CIL will not reserve field for those matches. If for any reason,
playoff matches are not completed in reserve days, then the team with higher
position in Points table during League Stage will be considered as Winners and
advance to next stage. For Finals, cups will be shared between finalists in the event
of no match.

Additional Rules
1) Both wide-balls and no-balls shall count as 1 extra run and an extra ball will
have to bowl in the over. Any runs (byes, leg-byes, etc) scored off wides or noballs will be credited as well.
2) A batsman can be, stumped off a wide ball and run-out off a wide or a
no ball.
3) If a bowler bowls a ball that makes two bounces before the crease on the
batting side i.e. the stumps on the batting side, then the ball may be called a
Dead ball by the umpire. Any kind of batsman dismissal, scoring rule is invalid
with Dead Ball. An extra ball should be bowled. No runs will be counted for
dead ball.
4) In a situation where all the stumps are knocked down and the batsmen are
looking to run an extra run (in an over throw situation), if there is a possibility
of a run-out again - the fielders have to fix at least one stump back in an
upright normal position and then knock the stumps down again or carry one
of the stumps together with the ball in hand. In case of spring stumps, the
stumps need to be on upright position or can be considered as Single stump.
In the event of ball hitting the side spring (not the actual stumps) and
deviating outside, umpires will need to take a call considering the ball
travel angle. If the ball would have hit the stumps if it is not the spring,
then it can be given out. If the ball is traveling outside of the stump,
then it is not out. Also, if the ball took a turn and hits the stump after
the impact with spring, then it should be considered as out only.
5) Mankadding is NOT allowed. However umpire can warn and give out if
its more than 1 times by non-striker and appealed by the opposite team

over starts/side change. No ball will not be rewarded if the bowler didnt tell
Guard.
Rain Intervention rules/unavoidable circumstances
When there is a rain intervention or if there are any unavoidable circumstances
during the middle of match and if the situation is not ideal to continue the play,
then that particular match will be called off. Captains need to make a call whether
or not to wait until the rain stops/continue the match/decide based on pitch
conditions etc. As mentioned above, points will be shared equally by both the
teams in this instance (unless captains mutually agree to reschedule the match
before following Wednesday or reduce the no. of overs based on allotted time).
In the event of rescheduled match due to above instance, then it will be a rematch/re-toss.
Most important point that we request everyone to adhere:
If you see the weather turns out to be good (not raining/light drizzle) on
that particular day (even when there is an overnight rain) please go and
visit the ground before making the decision to call off the match.

the team involved in such an act and warn the particular player
involved. If the umpire gives 2 warnings to a player and if it continues
for the 3rd time, the player would be sent out of the game and he
cannot be replaced by a substitute nor can he bat if he hasnt done
so already. In case of the team being a batting team and if the
batsman has already finished his batting and if such a scenario has
been reported by the umpire, the player will be banned from playing
the next game. If it is a batting team and if it is during a playoff game,
the team will be penalized 1 over of play.
It is umpires responsibility to call both the captains for toss (15
minutes before the start time) and ensure there are no delays to
start the game as per the schedule. IN case an umpire did not arrive
before or on time of the game start, his team will be penalized. CIL
advice both team to file a complaint on Umpires availability.
The umpire(s) may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of
the captain(s) to take action when required. Umpires must intervene
for:
o Deliberate wasting of time by either team.
o Damaging the pitch by either team.
o Dangerous or unfair bowling by either team. Batsman can
report to both umpires if the bowling action looks like chucking
and umpire can review the action and make a final call if the
bowler can continue bowling or not.
o Tampering with the ball by either team.
o Any other action that the umpire(s) may consider to be unfair.
