A bowl-out (sometimes termed a bowl-off) is used in various forms of limited overs cricket to decide a match that ends in a tie. The procedure is similar to a penalty shootout in association football, however the result is recorded as a tie, not counting as a win or a loss for either team. Five bowlers from each side deliver one or two balls each at an unguarded wicket (three stumps). If each team has hit the same number of wickets after the first five bowlers per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death.
