3. Semifinal Rule 1 — Rest Day

If the minimum number of overs necessary to constitute a match (minimum 5 overs a side) cannot be bowled on the scheduled day, then the match will be completed on the reserve day.

If a match starts on the scheduled day and overs are reduced following an interruption but no further play is possible, the match will resume on the reserve day at the point where the last ball was played.

4. Semifinal Rule 2 — Tie, Super Over

If any of the semifinal matches are tied, a Super Over will be played. If the Super Over is a tie, then subsequent Super Overs shall be played until there is a winner. Except exceptional circumstances, there shall be an unlimited number of Super Overs played to achieve a result.

If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the match is abandoned or a no result, then the team that finished first in its Super 12s Group will progress to the final.

According to the playing conditions, in circumstances where there are unavoidable time constraints (for example, a requirement to switch off floodlights at a certain time etc) which do not allow the completion of multiple Super Overs, the Match Referee may limit the number of Super Overs and shall advise both the captains accordingly prior to the start of the first Super Over.
