Asian Test Final: None shall be equal

Our Sports Reporter

Five options have been kept to decide the winners of the First Asian Test Championship final between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, provided neither can win the match outright.

According to the rules of the championship, organised by the Asian Cricket Council, if the match is drawn and the first innings of both teams have been completed, the team that accumulates higher bonus points in terms of batting and bowling in the first 100 overs of the first innings shall be declared winners.

Or, if still equal, the team having a better run-rate in the first 100 overs of the first innings shall be the winners.

Or, if still equal, the team that has claimed maximum wickets in the first 100 overs of the first innings shall be the winners.

Or, if still equal, the team having a better net run-rate in the first 100 overs of the first innings it had batted and bowled shall be the winners.

Or, if still equal, the team that calls the coin correctly shall be the winners.
