An innings ends at the first of the following (Stage 2 Match Day Rules 1.3):
- The team is all out.
- The innings time is reached: 70 minutes in a 20-over match, 105 minutes in a 30-over match. The over in progress is completed.
- The allocated overs (20 or 30) are completed.
All out: a team of 9 or more players is all out after 8 wickets. With fewer than 9 players, the team is all out when the number of players less one have been dismissed (for example, 7 players: 6 wickets). Retired batters are not dismissals.
Second innings: the team batting second gets the same number of overs as the team batting first, unless the first team was all out, in which case it gets the full allocation. If time is called and the second team has faced fewer overs than the first, the result is decided by the scores at the same number of overs.
