Multiple super overs instead of boundary count rule will be used to break ties in the finals series of the next Big Bash League edition, Cricket Australia announced on Tuesday (September 24). 

The board has tweaked the tournament's playing conditions in order to avoid the repeat of the controversial World Cup final in UK when England was awarded winner on boundary count rule after a thrilling super-over tie with New Zealand at Lord's. 

The rule applies to all of BBL matches in the finals series, while a tied Super Over during the league stage will see teams share points. 

The new playing conditions allow for an "unlimited amount" of Super Overs in finals, but where there are "unavoidable time restraints" - presumably venue regulations and broadcast constraints - CA will limit the number of available Super Overs.

The move shall please the fans, reckons CA's Head of Big Bash Leagues Alistair Dobson, who cited the example of Sydney Sixers' thrilling Super-Over semi-final win over the Melbourne Renegades last summer to stress the point. 

"We hope that allowing for multiple Super Overs in WBBL and BBL Finals will provide our teams and fans with the best possible experience," the official BBL website quoted Dobson as saying. 

However, unlike CA, it's expected the ICC will keep the debatable rule for next year's Women's T20 World Cup down under.
