A Super Over in cricket is a tie-breaking technique that comes into play when a game finishes with both sides scoring the same number of runs at the conclusion of their innings it is prevalent in limited-overs games such as T20 and ODI games.
Here’s How A Super Over Works:
One over per side: Both teams receive an opportunity to bat one extra over (6 legal deliveries).
Two wickets: A team can lose a maximum of two wickets in the Super Over. If they lose two, their innings is over.
Team with highest runs wins: The team that has more runs in their Super Over wins the game.

Same batting order is not necessary: Teams can send any batsmen (not necessarily the same who played before).
If Super Over is a tie once again: According to the tournament regulations, either there would be a further Super Over, or it can be determined through rules such as boundary tally, rankings from group stages, etc.
Delhi Capitals Vs Rajasthan Royals Match
The Delhi Capitals posted a score of 188/5 batting first, the 23-run over from Sandeep Sharma during the last over of the match became an expensive mistake for Rajasthan because it brought Delhi’s total dangerously close to 190. Abhishek Porel scored 49 runs from just 37 balls and KL Rahul accumulated 38 runs from his 32-ball innings. The death overs of the innings became a highlight because captain Axar Patel hammered 34 runs from 14 balls while Tristan Stubbs remained not out with 34 runs from 18 balls. During their chase, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 61 runs together in the opening powerplay. Rajasthan Royals looked strong enough to chase the target but Starc used his expertise to deliver successive yorkers which brought Rajasthan to just 188/4 and gave rise to a Super Over scenario.
