The ICC on October 14, scrapped off the boundary countback rule, stating that it won't be a part of the ICC sanctioned from now on. The highly criticized rule decided the winner of the match on the basis of the number of boundaries both the teams had hit in the concerned match. 

The teams with the maximum number of boundaries to their credit were declared the winners as indicated by the boundary countback rule. With the rule being scrapped off, any match that would result in a super over, another super over will be bowled till one of the teams does not score higher than the other.

The choice to scrap the rule was taken by the Chief Executives' Committee (CEC) after a proposal from the ICC to have super overs as a way to choose the outcome at of any match. The system will be followed in all matches including both ODI and T20I World Cups.
