Hello
Was just wondering what the result of this match be read as?
Two teams TEAM1 and TEAM2 are playing a one day match. TEAM1 bats 1st and scores 300 runs in thier 50overs. Now TEAM2 is 299 for 9 and one ball remaining. Now at the last ball TEAM1 player bowls a No-Ball , the batsman does not hear the umpire call it a No-Ball runs for a single and is run out in the process. TEAM2 has won the match! But by what? If the batsmen wouldnt have run it would have been victory from them by 1 wicket. So what have TEAM1 won by?

It's a tie, surely because both teams have the same score.

299, plus 1 for the no ball gives 300, then being bowled out makes it a tie?

[RaNeN]

Oh , sorry my mistake. Its 300 not 299. Now what will be the margin by which TEAM2 will win the match for the above mentioned situation?

[chrisfinch]

Team 2 should win by 1 wicket, because the ball goes dead as soon as the winning runs are scored, ie. in this case by the no ball. it shouldn't matter whether they run or not.

[RaNeN]

Well as you say the ball is dead. Then they will not get any runs on that ball neither as a no ball or the run for which they have run.
