The calculation of the number of overs to be bowled shall be based on an average rate of 15 overs per hour in the total time available for play. If a reduction of the number of overs is required, any calculation must not cause the match to be rescheduled to finish earlier than the original cessation time. This time may be extended to allow one extra over for both teams to be added if required. If the team fielding second fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled cessation time, the hours of play shall be extended until the overs have been bowled or a result achieved. The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter has been all out in less than the agreed number of overs.
Fractions are to be ignored in all calculations re.
The match is reduced to 36 overs per team. 15 overs have been lost. The match is reduced to 32 overs per team. If a match does not begin by 11.10h, then the match is declared no result. Therefore, there is no reason why an afternoon match scheduled for 14.15h should not commence on time.
