If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled time for cessation of the first session, play shall continue until the required number of overs has been bowled. If the Fielding Side fails in bowling the 8 overs in 30 minutes, the remaining overs will be deducted from their Batting Innings. For example: Fielding Side bowls 6 overs within 30 minutes. Then they have only 6 overs left for their batting. If the team fielding second fails to bowl the amended number of overs by the scheduled cessation time, play shall continue until the required number of overs has been bowled or a result achieved. Penalties shall apply for slow over rate for team fielding second. The captains of the teams are responsible that their players are not time-wasting.
