超級搶七是什麼意思
"Super Over" or "Super Seven" is a term used in cricket, particularly in the context of limited-overs matches such as ODIs (One Day Internationals) and T20s (Twenty20 matches). It refers to a tie-breaking method used to decide the winner in a match that is tied after the regular playing time has elapsed.
Here's how a Super Over works:
-
Regular Match Tied: If the scores are level after the completion of both teams' innings (innings means a team's turn to bat) and the allotted number of overs, the match is considered tied.
-
Super Over: In the event of a tie, a Super Over is played to determine the winner. Each team gets one over (six balls bowled by one bowler) to score as many runs as possible. The team that bats second in the Super Over is the team that batted first in the regular match, and vice versa.
-
Batting Order: The same batsmen who were at the crease when the last ball of the regular match was bowled will face the Super Over. If new batsmen are required, they must come from the same batting order position as the original batsmen.
-
Bowling: The bowler for the Super Over is chosen by the fielding team. However, the bowler must be one of the top five bowlers in the match in terms of overs bowled, and they cannot have bowled the final over of the match.
-
Scoring: The team that scores the most runs in their Super Over wins the match. If the scores are tied in the Super Over as well, then the match is officially declared a tie.
-
Deciding the Winner: If the Super Over also results in a tie, some competitions have tie-breakers in place. For example, in the ICC Cricket World Cup, if the Super Over is tied, subsequent Super Overs (Super Over 2, Super Over 3, etc.) are played until there is a clear winner.
The Super Over adds an exciting and decisive element to tied matches, providing a clear outcome rather than a simple shared point for both teams. It has produced some memorable moments in cricket history, often requiring teams to perform under intense pressure in a high-stakes situation.
