DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – Cricket’s World Cup trophy will be shared by the finalists in 2015 if there is a tie, or no result, after the sport’s governing body decided to scrap use of a “super over” for the showpiece match.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) decided also that there will be no “super over” to settle the quarter-finals or semi-finals. The teams that finish highest in the groups will advance, it said.
In another change announced by the ICC, following a board meeting in Dubai, the Decision Review System will be used for all matches at the World Cup, to be held in Australia and New Zealand from February 14-March 29.
The ICC has also made changes to its anti-corruption code.
It said that Najam Sethi, the former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, will take over as the new ICC president.
