A super over in cricket is used to break a tie. Each team gets one over (six balls) to score as many runs as possible. The team with the most runs at the end of the super over wins the match. If still tied, the team with the most boundaries (fours and sixes) during the match, inclusive of the super over, is declared the winner. This method adds extra excitement to the game.
