Appendix 1: Haze/PSI Guidelines

  1. Haze is similar to other GROUND, WEATHER and LIGHT CONDITIONS THAT CAN AFFECT THE PROGRESS OF A CRICKET GAME. However, given that there are national and ground-specific guidelines in terms of permissible PSI thresholds above which grounds are unavailable; this section outlines the PSI guidelines and the treatment of the games impacted by haze during the league.
  2. Given that the players’ and officials’ safety is of paramount importance, SCA would like to advise the following conditions for the games conducted under the SCA league:
  3. PSI Guidelines for NUS and NTU:
  • For 24H PSI levels less than or equal to 100: Games shall either start or continue as per normal.
  • For 24H PSI levels above 100:
  • If at the start of the game, the 24H PSI levels are above 100, then the game shall not be started.
  • If during the game, the 24H PSI levels goes above 100, then the game shall be suspended immediately.

After the non-start or suspension of a game, if the 24H PSI level goes below 100, then the game shall be resumed. The treatment of such a delayed start or an interruption in terms of reduction of overs, arrival of results, points secured etc., will be similar to that of an interruption due to ground, weather and light factors.

  1. PSI Guidelines for all other grounds:
  • For 24H PSI levels less than or equal to 150: Games shall either start or continue as per normal.
  • For 24H PSI levels above 150:
    • If at the start of the game the 24H PSI levels are above 150, then the game shall not be started.
    • If during the game, the 24H PSI levels goes above 150, then the game shall be suspended immediately.

After the non-start or suspension, if the 24H PSI level goes below 150 or less, then the game shall be resumed. The treatment of such a delayed start or an interruption in terms of reduction of overs, arrival of results, points secured etc., will be similar to that of an interruption due to ground, weather and light factors.

  1. During the League, umpires shall use the 24H PSI reading from http://www.haze.gov.sg and will monitor the same regularly – during the time between overs, drinks and other appropriate intervals. They will resume or abandon play depending on subsequent 24H PSI readings and the available playing time. The standard cut-off times for relevant divisions apply.

For the sake of clarity:

  1. In case of abandonment, the result will be derived based on the state of the game. If the minimum overs conditions are met, the result will then be derived based on the D/L method and points allocated as such.
  2. If the minimum over conditions are not met due to a haze interruption or non-start of the game, then the game shall be deemed as a No Result with the points being split between the two teams.
  3. There will be NO postponements of games. While it is inconvenient to all given the ground bookings and other logistics that are arranged, it is imperative that health concerns are of highest importance.
  4. If a game is started/resumed based on the umpires’ decision, then the teams are bound to play the game. In case of any refusal to start/continue to play despite the umpires’ direction, then the umpires will proceed to apply Law 21.3 under MCC Laws pertaining to ‘Umpires awarding a match’.
  5. Similar to the ground, weather and light conditions, the umpires will be the sole and final judges of the haze related decisions.

Singapore Tri- Nation T20I Series: Singapore | Nepal | Zimbabwe

The Singapore Cricket Association is pleased to announce that we are organizing the Singapore Tri Nation T20I Series and have invited  Zimbabwe and Nepal to partake this inaugural ICC sanctioned T20I series.

This will be first T20I status series of matches coordinated by the SCA after ICC had granted international status for all T20 matches played amongst member nations in January 2019.

This series will prove to be a good test for the Singapore team who are currently ranked 21 in official T20I rankings as they come up against Nepal (11) and Zimbabwe (14). This will also bode well for the island nation as they prepare for the ICC T20 World Cup Global Qualifiers to be held in Dubai, UAE in October 2019.

The series will also carry a lot of meaning for Nepal who will look to set the record straight after missing out on the Global Qualifiers after losing to Singapore in the decider while Zimbabwe will be returning to Singapore’s shores after 20 years, having last played in a 50 over Tri series against India and West Indies in the Singapore Coca Cola Challenge in 1999.

The round robin series will see each nation play the other twice after which the team with the most points will clinch the series.

The matches will take place from the 27th September till the 4th of October and all matches will be played at the Singapore Indian Association Ground.

The fixtures are as follows:
