Wait, the Match Ended in a Tie? Don’t Panic!

Extra Time? You Bet! Knockout Matches Get an Extension.

The excitement doesn’t stop in the knockout stages (semi-finals and finals). To make sure every close encounter gets a fair shot at a conclusion, there’s extra time. The finals even get a whole reserve day, just in case the drama spills over!

Big cricket tournament! 2022 was amazing! There were surprises, upsets, and awesome plays. Get ready to learn about it (or see it again if you missed it)!

Before the main games, teams practiced from May 27th to June 1st. This helped them get ready for the World Cup. It was like a mini-cricket tournament before the big one!
