- A 'no-ball' is worth 2 runs, and the batsman gets a free hit after a no-ball. The fielding side is not allowed to change field positions for the free hit. And, the only way the batsman can get out on the free-hit ball is by way of a run out.

- After the fall of a wicket, the next batsman has 90 seconds to get to the crease.
- In the event of a tied match, the teams shall complete in a bowl-out (similar to a penalty shootout). A bowl-out may also be used in the final in the event of a 'no result' due to weather conditions.
- In the bowl-out, the captain nominates 5 bowlers who will bowl one delivery each and teams will take alternate turns to bowl at the stumps. To score, the bowler has to hit the wicket.
- In case of a tie in the bowl-out, the process will be repeated until a result is achieved.
