How cricket finals are decided
One match for the title
Most tournaments end with a single final between the last two sides. The winner takes the title, whatever happened earlier in the competition.
Semi-finals and play-offs
Many tournaments reach the final through semi-finals. Some leagues use a play-off ladder instead: the top two teams meet in Qualifier 1 and the winner goes straight to the final, while the loser gets a second chance in Qualifier 2 against the winner of the Eliminator between the third- and fourth-placed teams.
Tied finals and the Super Over
A tied limited-overs final usually goes to a Super Over, one extra over for each side. After the 2019 men's World Cup final, the ICC decided that in the semi-finals and final of its global tournaments the Super Over is repeated until one side wins (ESPNcricinfo, October 2019). In the last 12 months, 2 finals in FairPlay's data went to a Super Over.
Rain in a final
When rain shortens a limited-overs final, targets are reset with the DLS method. Some tournaments also set aside a reserve day so that a final interrupted by weather can be finished.
Drawn first-class finals
A red-ball final can end in a draw. Some domestic competitions, such as the Ranji Trophy and the Duleep Trophy, then give the title to the side with the first-innings lead. FairPlay's data has 2 finals decided this way in the last 12 months. See FairPlay Red for Test and first-class cricket.
