All international matches decided in Super Over

Super Over was first introduced by the ICC in 2008.

In 2008, the ICC introduced the Super Over. After that, it has become a popular method that decides the outcome of tied matches in international cricket. Before super overs, either the difference in wickets was considered to decide the outcome of the game, or the game was considered tied.

Then, ahead of the 2007 T20 World Cup, the ICC introduced a football-style bowl-off between the two sides in case the match ended in a tie. The first bowl-off was used in 2006, when the Kiwis defeated the West Indies in a T20I 3-0. Then, in the 2007 World Cup, India famously defeated Pakistan by 3-0 in a group stage game.

However, in 2008, the ICC introduced the Super Over method to decide the result of a T20I match in place of the bowl-out. The first-ever Super Over happened in a tied T20I game between New Zealand and the West Indies. New Zealand’s Daniel Vettori bowled the over, while Chris Gayle and Xavier Marshall batted for the West Indies.

Gayle hit 25 runs in 6 balls. In response, Kiwis opened with Brendon McCullum and Jacob Oram, with Suleiman Benn bowling. Oram and the next man, Ross Taylor, were dismissed as New Zealand only made 15 runs, giving West Indies the win.

Since then, more than 30 T20I games have been decided by Super Over, and below are all of them.

The super over was also introduced in ODIs in 2011 after the World Cup that year. The first-ever ODI to be decided by a super over was the final of the ICC World Cup 2019 between England and New Zealand. Since then, four more ODIs have been decided via super overs.

The first Women’s ODI to be decided by a super over was between South Africa and the West Indies, which was played in Antigua in 2021. West Indies won by scoring 10/1, while South Africa managed only 6 runs.
