PLAYING CONDITIONS

The Laws of Cricket: Except as specially provided hereafter, the 2017 (2022) Code of the Laws of Cricket, together with the Playing Conditions as laid down by NZC will apply
Competition-specific Playing Conditions as follows:
[ 1 ] 20 overs per side

[ 5 ] Hours of Play: Matches are scheduled to start at various times which will be stated in the draw.
- Innings 1: 1 hour, 20 minutes (Differs from Dream11 Super Smash).
- Interval: 15 minutes
- Innings 2: 1 hour 20 minutes (Differs from Super Smash)
Over rates, time allowances and fielding team penalties are to be managed by the respective match umpires, as per the Dream11 Super Smash Playing Conditions.
No Super Over is to be played
[ 6 ] The Toss
The toss for CD Women’s T20 matches will be made, as per tradition, 30 minutes before the scheduled start of play. Note: This is contrary to the introduction of an earlier toss time into Dream11 Super Smash for the 2024/25 season.
[ 7 ] NOMINATION OF PLAYERS
7.1 For each match, teams may be composed of 12 players.
7.2 Prior to the toss for each match, captains must provide opposing captains and the umpires a list of their batting XI and their fielding XI.
The player left out of the fielding XI will act as a 12th for the fielding portions of the match. (i.e. the player may bat in the batting XI but may not bowl).
7.3 The “12th player” may be rotated on and off the field acting as substitute fielder, under the following conditions:
- The “12th player” can be rotated after 10 overs.
- Only if a player is injured or ill can the “12th player” be rotated at any other time.
- No player is to be off the field for more than 10 overs during an innings, unless they are injured or ill.
7.4 Since the rotation of the substitute is controlled, there is no penance time for either the batting or fielding side, unless there is an injury-related change. The time the injured player is off the field is to be monitored and penance time applied to their absence if or when they return.
For example – If a bowler leaves the field with an injury and they are off the field for more than the allowed 8 minutes grace period, they must “serve their time” before bowling again.
If a bowler leaves the field with an injury and does not return to the field in the completed innings, they must serve their penance time before batting or bat no higher than #7.
7.5 The wicketkeeper cannot be designated as the non-bowler.
[ 8 ] Teams have 1 hour 20 minutes to bowl their 20 overs.
That is 15 overs per hour or 4 mins per over.
For each over, short of the required number of overs at the scheduled or rescheduled cessation time, the fielding side will be penalised 0.5 of a point. Allowances such as - treatment of injuries on the field; finding or replacing the ball or any other wholly acceptable reason, must be factored in by the umpires. The Umpires will communicate regularly, with the fielding captain, on how the over-rate is tracking through the respective innings. It must be noted that the out-standing overs are still required to be bowled.
[ 9 ] The wearing of helmets by all batters is mandatory, in the interests of Health and Safety, in this competition. It is also expected that wicketkeepers wear helmets when standing up to spin bowlers.
[ 10 ] Running the non-striker out before the ball is bowled:
- The bowler must issue a warning to the non-striker who, in the umpire’s opinion, was out of their crease at the time of the incident.
- The warning must be made to the umpire at the non-striker's end before the next ball is delivered.
- The warning will last the duration of that innings and apply to all batters.
- The umpires will make all incoming batters aware if a warning has been issued.
Central Districts Cricket Association believes that the process of the bowler running out the non-striker is not in the Spirit of the Game and should be used only as a last resort.
