What is the rule of ICC
According to ICC rules, there is a provision of super over in all T20 International matches. If the match is tied, then the match goes into super over and its result is decided. On the other hand, ICC rules are different in ODIs. There is no provision of super over for this format. In the knockout of ICC tournaments, the winner is decided through super over.

The super over was also tied and the winner was decided on the basis of hitting the most boundaries.
