Determining the Winner of a Tied Limited-Overs Cricket Match Using Batting and Bowling Indices

This paper outlines an alternative method of determining the winner of a tied One-Day International cricket match to the boundary count rule invoked during the 2019 World Cup between England and New Zealand. This is done by quantifying the performance of the teams using Batting and Bowling Indices and comparing their expected values to those achieved in the match. This contrast is reflected in a different figure known as a Performance Index. Combining the Performance Indices for the two disciplines gives the Team Performance Index, by which a winner can be decided.
