What is Super Over?

A Super Over is one of two extra overs in a Twenty20 cricket match when the regular match ends in a tie. Instead of equally dividing the points between the two participating teams, the winning team of the "Super Over" takes all the points. It replaced the Bowlout method that previously was used for breaking a tie in Twenty20. At the end of a tied regular match and before the Super Over, each team nominates three batsmen and a bowler. The team that scores the most runs in its Super Over is the winner of the match. If the scores in the Super Over are tied, the match is won by the team that has scored the most 6s in their innings.
