Playing Condition (PC) [2017-18] CI-GPC-Game4 - Limited 45 Over.Final 10.2. Bonus Points 1. The Bonus Point Target score and Run-rate ratios can be calculated in two methods; 1) at the end of the team batting first innings Target score (for team batting second) = score of team batting first / 1.25 (for 1 bonus point) or 2 (for 2 bonus points) 2) at the end of a match Run-rate ratio = score of team batting first / score of team batting second 2. Where matches are shortened and targets revised through the Duckworth/Lewis method, bonus run-rates and bonus defensive targets are derived as a function of the revised target score and maximum overs. 10.3. One Bonus Point Method 10.4. Two Bonus Point Method to gain one bonus point, victory must be achieved 1) Batting first with a run-rate 1.25 times that of the opposition. Examples: If a team batting first scores 200 off its 45 overs it must dismiss its opposition for no more than 200/1.25 = 160 to obtain one bonus point. End of match calculation the team batting first scores 200 off its 45 overs and the team batting second scores 162. The run-rate ratio = 200 /162 = 1.23. Therefore is less than 1.25 and no bonus point is awarded. 2) Batting Second prior to the end of the 36th over (or in a reduced overs match, batting no more than 80% of its maximum number of overs). to gain two bonus point, victory must be achieved 1) Batting First with a run-rate 2.00 times that of the opposition. Examples: If a team batting first scores 200 off its 45 overs it must dismiss its opposition for no more than 200/2 = 100 runs to obtain two bonus point. End of match calculation the team batting first scores 200 off its 50 overs and the team batting second scores 145. The run-rate ratio = 200 /145 = 1.38. Therefore ratio is less than 2 and greater than 1.25, only one bonus point is awarded. 2) Batting Second prior to the end of the 23th over (or in a reduced overs match, batting no more than 50% of its maximum number of overs). 11.
