    Super Over : If, and when, there is a tie by the end of a T10 match, it is broken with a one over per side - 'Eliminator' or 'Super Over'. Each of the     two teams nominates three batsmen and one bowler, to play a one-over per side, which can be termed as 'mini-match' or 'One1'. If a team loses     two wickets before the over is complete, it loses the game. If this does not happen, the team with the higher score from its over wins it. In case       there is a tie after the 'mini-match' as well, the team that has higher number of sixes in its full innings, or in the 'One1', will be declared the               winner. If, by any chance, there is still a tie, the winning team is the one with the higher number of fours in both innings.
