What are the rules of the 3TC Solidarity Cup? - The matches will be played between three teams consisting of eight players each. - It will be a 36-overĀ contest divided into two halves of 18 overs each. - Each innings willĀ last 12 overs that will be further dividedĀ into two six-over periods in each half. - A draw will be conducted to ascertain which team will bat, bowl or be the third team that will wait in the dug-out in the first half. - DuringĀ the second half, the team that finished with the most number of runs in the first half will bat first.
