The Rose Bowl Bowl Off

"I'll be last. It'll be over by then. But little did I know that everybody else was going to miss." 

Before the Super Over had been invented, tied T20 International matches were decided by a Bowl Off!

This episode of Stories After Stumps takes you all the way back to 2006 and the players who were there for the first ever encounter between Australia and New Zealand in women’s T20Is and exactly what happened next when the scores were deadlocked after 20 overs each.
