Super over
also: one-over eliminator
A one-over-a-side tiebreaker used when a limited-overs match finishes level.
If the scores are tied, each side bats for a single over with at most two wickets, and the higher score wins. If that is also level, many tournaments repeat it or count boundaries, depending on the competition's rules. Some older matches were settled by a bowl-out, a contest of hitting the stumps, instead.
In ball-by-ball data a super over is its own innings after the regular ones, and it should usually be left out of a player's ordinary figures. A batter's strike rate or a bowler's economy computed with the super over included is distorted by an over played under very different pressure.
Counting super-over runs and wickets in a player's season totals. Most records exclude them, and a tied match with a super over is still recorded as a tie.
