What are the rules of Super Sixes?

- Wides and no-balls count as two runs. 

- If five wickets fall before 5 overs are completed, the last remaining batsman bats on with the fifth batsman acting as a runner. He always takes strike. The innings is complete when the sixth wicket falls.

- Batsmen retire not out on reaching 31 runs. The idea being to reach 36 runs by hitting 6 sixes. 

- A retired batsman can return to the crease after lower-order batsmen either retire or are out.
