In the shortest format of the game, it is seen quite often that the game goes right down the wire. There have been times that the last-ball thrillers have ended in a tie. In these cases, there is a one-over contest called the "super over" played between the teams to decide the winner.

In the one-over tie-breaker, the teams need to select three batters and one bowler who can thrive in the intense contest. In marquee tournaments such as the upcoming <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup 2022</a>, the pressure will be like never before and teams need to prepare themselves for super over as well.&nbsp;

Let us look at the possible combinations teams might go with in case of a super over.

8. Bangladesh (Batters- Afif Hossain, Shakib Al Hasan, Yasir Ali; Bowler-Mustafizur Rahman)- 6/10

Bangladesh are likely to go with Afif Hossain, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-have-no-goals-new-t20i-skipper-shakib-al-hasan-says-overnight-results-are-impossible-for-bangladesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shakib Al Hasan</a>, and Yasir Ali on the batting front. Afif has caught a lot of eyeballs with his innovative strokeplay and can pierce any part of the ground. He was at his best in the recently concluded series against UAE where he smashed 95 runs in two games at a strike rate of 146.15.

The Bangla Tigers have Yasir who has shown his power-hitting prowess on the international stage. In the ongoing T20I tri-series held in New Zealand, he played a sensational 42 runs off 21 balls against a formidable Pakistan pace attack. Between the flamboyant Afif and Yasir, the team management can look at the veteran Shakib to guide his team in the super over.

Shakib has been a giant of a player in the T20 circuit and has bailed his team out of tense situations time and again. So, he will be a good choice for the six-ball contest. Coming to bowling, Bangladesh have Mustafizur Rahman who has been their designated- death bowler for the last couple of years. The left-arm pacer has numerous variations up his sleeve and is known to bamboozle batters with his slower balls. Therefore, Mustafizur bowling the super over is a no-brainer.

7. Pakistan (Batters- Asif Ali, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Nawaz; Bowler-Shaheen Afridi )- 6.5/10

Asif Ali has been the designated power-hitter for Pakistan. He was just outstanding in the last T20 World Cup which saw him smash 57 runs at an insane strike rate of 237.50. The 31-year-old is renowned for hitting maximums and will be entrusted to do the same in a six-ball shootout.

In Super Over, piercing gaps and collecting boundaries are also important. This is the art that has been mastered by Pakistan’s run-machine <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/top-order-and-middle-order-are-two-different-things-mohammad-rizwan-opens-up-on-competition-with-suryakumar-yadav-1361/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Rizwan</a> making him a good addition in the one-over shootout. Also, the Men in Green haveMohammad Nawaz who has been used as a pinch-hitter quite a few times and can send the ball beyond the ropes consistently. Nawaz’s 42-run knock against India at the Asia Cup 2022 was one of the examples of his batting might.

Babar Azam &amp; Co. will look at pace-spearhead Shaheen Afridi to deliver the goods with the ball in the Super Over. The 22-year-old has taken 47 wickets in the 40 T20 games played for the Men in Green. He can extract bounce from even the docile surfaces and can bowl the pin-point yorkers at will making him a difficult bowler to take apart.

6. Afghanistan (Batters- Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi; Bowler- Rashid Khan )- 7.5/10

Afghanistan have some ferocious strikers of the cricket ball such as Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/hope-i-and-my-son-can-play-together-for-afghanistan-some-day-mohammad-nabi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Nabi</a>. Gurbaz has shown that he can take any bowling apart and has struck 50 sixes in his 32-match T20I career.

The Blue Tigers have their old war horses Najibullah Zadran and Mohammad Nabi to finish games for the side. The veteran duo has been in tense situations many times and can guide their team to victory in the Super Over. Zadran and Nabi are both big brute players and have smashed 87 sixes and 89 sixes in the international arena respectively.

In the bowling department, Rashid Khan will be the likely choice for Nabi in a one-over shoot. The 24-year-old is among the best T20 bowlers in world cricket and has been impeccable in all phases of the game including death overs. Due to Rashid’s quick arm action, his balls just zip off the surface onto the batters, making it tricky for the batters to read. He has picked 118 wickets in 71 T20I games at a staggering economy of 6.24.

5. New Zealand (Batters- James Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Martin Guptill; Bowler-Lockie Ferguson) - 8/10

James Neesham has been a proven performer for New Zealand in the white-ball circuit. Talking about the T20Is, he has scored 612 runs in 50 games at a sensational strike rate of 164.51. The Blackcaps entrusted him to deliver the job in the Super Over 2019 World Cup Final where he almost won the game scoring 13 runs off 5 balls and eyes will again be on the ace all-rounder in the T20 extravaganza in Australia.

Martin Guptill and Glenn Phillips can be the other batters to partner Neesham in the super over. Guptill has been a legend in white-ball cricket and has struck the second-most number of sixes in T20Is with 172 maximums in 121 games. Phillips, on the other hand, has made a name for himself for his swashbuckling strokeplay. The 25-year-old has smashed 1005 runs in 46 T20Is at a strike rate of 142.35 and will be a good option in the one-over shootout.

Given Trent Boult and Tim Southee have not been able to deliver in the super-over challenge, New Zealand might look at <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/new-zealand-t20i-tri-series-lockie-ferguson-sidelined-due-to-abdominal-injury-likely-to-miss-all-matches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lockie Ferguson</a> to play that role. The 31-year-old can clock express speed of over 150 kmph and is known to rattle batter with his pace. The speedster has also been outstanding for the Kiwis taking 32 wickets in 21 games in the shortest format at an impressive economy of 6.84.

4. England (Batters - Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali; Bowler-Chris Jordan) - 8.5/10

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/jos-buttler-set-to-return-from-injury-for-englands-first-t20i-against-australia-in-perth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jos Buttler</a> is one of the most destructive batters in T20 cricket. The wicket-keeper batter is England’s 360-degree player and can take any attack to the cleaners. He has been striking at 143.97 in 95 T20Is and has hit 100 sixes. The 32-year-old was given the super over role in the 50-over World Cup against New Zealand and he scored seven runs off three deliveries. He will again be expected to play a blistering cameo if need be at the upcoming marquee event.

Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali can be the right fit to share the Super Over responsibilities with England’s skipper. Livingstone is renowned for his six-hitting abilities and can dismantle any bowling attack on a given day. Moeen on the other hand has grown into the role of a finisher and can hit lusty blows in crunch situations. This is what will be needed from the southpaw in the one-over shootout.

Chris Jordan has been England’s specialist bowler at the fag end of the innings. The veteran bowler mixes his lengths and speeds cunningly to fox batters at the death. The 32-year-old bowled one of the best super overs in international cricket against Pakistan in 2015 where the Men in Green could only score three runs off his over. In the upcoming T20 World Cup as well, the Three Lions are expected to give him the role in the six-ball contest.

3. South Africa (Batters- David Miller, Rilee Rossouw,&nbsp; Quinton de Kock; Bowler- Kagiso Rabada) - 9/10

David Miller is one of the most sought-after finishers in the shortest format. The southpaw has been in a rich vein of form this year amassing 283 runs in 12 T20Is at a phenomenal strike rate of 186.18 which included 21 majestic sixes. Thus his selection for a one-over shootout is a no-brainer.

The Proteas also have Rilee Rossouw and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/its-going-to-start-being-tough-for-players-quinton-de-kock-has-a-word-of-caution-for-multi-format-cricketers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quinton de Kock</a> in their ranks who have been match-winners for them in the international arena. Rossouw since his return to the South African side has scored 231 runs in six games at an amazing strike rate of 180.46. Talking about Quinton, the wicketkeeper batter has all the shots in the book and can take any bowling lineup to the cleaners.

Temba Bavuma is likely to give the ball to his go-to man Kagiso Rabada in case of a super over. The veteran bowler has a fiery pace and can extract bounce from the surface. He has a lethal yorker up his sleeve and also perfected the slower balls. The seam-friendly surfaces will make South Africa's pace spearhead more lethal with the ball.

2. India (Batters - Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik; Bowler - Arshdeep Singh) - 9/10

Suryakumar Yadav has set the international stage ablaze with his blistering performances. The 32-year-old has played 34 T20Is and has been striking at 176.81 including 63 maximums. His 360-degree batting prowess gives the bowlers no place to hide and India will count on him in the super over.

Hardik Pandya and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/indian-team-management-deciding-to-go-ahead-with-dinesh-karthik-is-not-a-bad-move-saba-karim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dinesh Karthik</a> are likely to be the other two who will sail India’s ship in a six-ball contest. The duo has been playing the role of finishers in T20Is and can get going from ball one. Hardik can muscle the ball for huge sixes while Karthik is someone of Suryakumar’s mould and can play all across the ground.&nbsp;

In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, India are likely to give the ball to Arshdeep Singh in the Super Over. The 23-year-old has shown that he can nail yorkers consistently in the crunch overs and his temperament has impressed one and all. Though he is thin on pace, his accuracy and variations make him stand apart.

1. Australia (Batters - Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, David Warner; Bowler-Mitchell Starc)&nbsp; - 9.5 /10

Australia has the most intimidating Super Over arsenal of the marquee event. On the batting front, they have the likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/glenn-maxwell-determined-to-make-a-test-comeback-in-next-years-india-tour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glenn Maxwell</a>, Tim David, and David Warner to deliver the goods with the bat. Maxwell can bring his unorthodox strokes into play and also has the power game at his disposal. The ace all-rounder strikes at 151.45 in the 92 T20I matches played so far.

Talking about David, the Singapore-born is renowned to hit humongous maximums and has struck 173 of them in the shortest format. This is what makes him dangerous in a six-ball contest. Last but not the least, the Aussies have Warner who has been the team’s go-to man for pressure situations. The Australian legend who was the Player of the tournament at the last World Cup strikes at 142.58 in 94 T20Is played so far including 105 sixes.

On the bowling front, Australia have the express-pacer Mitchell Starc who has one of the deadliest Yorkers in the game. His whizzing pace and left-arm angle make him a tough customer to tackle. The 32-year-old has taken 69 wickets in 53 games and will be banked upon to deliver the goods in the super over.

Asif Ali has been the designated power-hitter for Pakistan. He was just outstanding in the last T20 World Cup which saw him smash 57 runs at an insane strike rate of 237.50. The 31-year-old is renowned for hitting maximums and will be entrusted to do the same in a six-ball shootout.
In Super Over, piercing gaps and collecting boundaries are also important. This is the art that has been mastered by Pakistan’s run-machine <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/top-order-and-middle-order-are-two-different-things-mohammad-rizwan-opens-up-on-competition-with-suryakumar-yadav-1361/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Rizwan</a> making him a good addition in the one-over shootout. Also, the Men in Green haveMohammad Nawaz who has been used as a pinch-hitter quite a few times and can send the ball beyond the ropes consistently. Nawaz’s 42-run knock against India at the Asia Cup 2022 was one of the examples of his batting might.
Babar Azam &amp; Co. will look at pace-spearhead Shaheen Afridi to deliver the goods with the ball in the Super Over. The 22-year-old has taken 47 wickets in the 40 T20 games played for the Men in Green. He can extract bounce from even the docile surfaces and can bowl the pin-point yorkers at will making him a difficult bowler to take apart.
<h3>6. Afghanistan (Batters- Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi; Bowler- Rashid Khan )- 7.5/10</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1662225552144_Rashid-Khan.jpeg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
Afghanistan have some ferocious strikers of the cricket ball such as Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/hope-i-and-my-son-can-play-together-for-afghanistan-some-day-mohammad-nabi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Nabi</a>. Gurbaz has shown that he can take any bowling apart and has struck 50 sixes in his 32-match T20I career.
The Blue Tigers have their old war horses Najibullah Zadran and Mohammad Nabi to finish games for the side. The veteran duo has been in tense situations many times and can guide their team to victory in the Super Over. Zadran and Nabi are both big brute players and have smashed 87 sixes and 89 sixes in the international arena respectively.
In the bowling department, Rashid Khan will be the likely choice for Nabi in a one-over shoot. The 24-year-old is among the best T20 bowlers in world cricket and has been impeccable in all phases of the game including death overs. Due to Rashid’s quick arm action, his balls just zip off the surface onto the batters, making it tricky for the batters to read. He has picked 118 wickets in 71 T20I games at a staggering economy of 6.24.
<h3>5. New Zealand (Batters- James Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Martin Guptill; Bowler-Lockie Ferguson) - 8/10</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Martin-Guptill-3.jpg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
James Neesham has been a proven performer for New Zealand in the white-ball circuit. Talking about the T20Is, he has scored 612 runs in 50 games at a sensational strike rate of 164.51. The Blackcaps entrusted him to deliver the job in the Super Over 2019 World Cup Final where he almost won the game scoring 13 runs off 5 balls and eyes will again be on the ace all-rounder in the T20 extravaganza in Australia.
Martin Guptill and Glenn Phillips can be the other batters to partner Neesham in the super over. Guptill has been a legend in white-ball cricket and has struck the second-most number of sixes in T20Is with 172 maximums in 121 games. Phillips, on the other hand, has made a name for himself for his swashbuckling strokeplay. The 25-year-old has smashed 1005 runs in 46 T20Is at a strike rate of 142.35 and will be a good option in the one-over shootout.
Given Trent Boult and Tim Southee have not been able to deliver in the super-over challenge, New Zealand might look at <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/new-zealand-t20i-tri-series-lockie-ferguson-sidelined-due-to-abdominal-injury-likely-to-miss-all-matches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lockie Ferguson</a> to play that role. The 31-year-old can clock express speed of over 150 kmph and is known to rattle batter with his pace. The speedster has also been outstanding for the Kiwis taking 32 wickets in 21 games in the shortest format at an impressive economy of 6.84.
<h3>4. England (Batters - Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali; Bowler-Chris Jordan) - 8.5/10</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/featureimage/Jos-Buttler-100.jpg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/jos-buttler-set-to-return-from-injury-for-englands-first-t20i-against-australia-in-perth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jos Buttler</a> is one of the most destructive batters in T20 cricket. The wicket-keeper batter is England’s 360-degree player and can take any attack to the cleaners. He has been striking at 143.97 in 95 T20Is and has hit 100 sixes. The 32-year-old was given the super over role in the 50-over World Cup against New Zealand and he scored seven runs off three deliveries. He will again be expected to play a blistering cameo if need be at the upcoming marquee event.
Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali can be the right fit to share the Super Over responsibilities with England’s skipper. Livingstone is renowned for his six-hitting abilities and can dismantle any bowling attack on a given day. Moeen on the other hand has grown into the role of a finisher and can hit lusty blows in crunch situations. This is what will be needed from the southpaw in the one-over shootout.
Chris Jordan has been England’s specialist bowler at the fag end of the innings. The veteran bowler mixes his lengths and speeds cunningly to fox batters at the death. The 32-year-old bowled one of the best super overs in international cricket against Pakistan in 2015 where the Men in Green could only score three runs off his over. In the upcoming T20 World Cup as well, the Three Lions are expected to give him the role in the six-ball contest.
<h3>3. South Africa (Batters- David Miller, Rilee Rossouw,&nbsp; Quinton de Kock; Bowler- Kagiso Rabada) - 9/10</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1664779032629_Miller-.jpeg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
David Miller is one of the most sought-after finishers in the shortest format. The southpaw has been in a rich vein of form this year amassing 283 runs in 12 T20Is at a phenomenal strike rate of 186.18 which included 21 majestic sixes. Thus his selection for a one-over shootout is a no-brainer.
The Proteas also have Rilee Rossouw and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/its-going-to-start-being-tough-for-players-quinton-de-kock-has-a-word-of-caution-for-multi-format-cricketers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quinton de Kock</a> in their ranks who have been match-winners for them in the international arena. Rossouw since his return to the South African side has scored 231 runs in six games at an amazing strike rate of 180.46. Talking about Quinton, the wicketkeeper batter has all the shots in the book and can take any bowling lineup to the cleaners.
Temba Bavuma is likely to give the ball to his go-to man Kagiso Rabada in case of a super over. The veteran bowler has a fiery pace and can extract bounce from the surface. He has a lethal yorker up his sleeve and also perfected the slower balls. The seam-friendly surfaces will make South Africa's pace spearhead more lethal with the ball.

<h3>2. India (Batters - Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik; Bowler - Arshdeep Singh) - 9/10</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1665388323077_Suryakumar-Yadav.jpeg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
Suryakumar Yadav has set the international stage ablaze with his blistering performances. The 32-year-old has played 34 T20Is and has been striking at 176.81 including 63 maximums. His 360-degree batting prowess gives the bowlers no place to hide and India will count on him in the super over.
Hardik Pandya and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/indian-team-management-deciding-to-go-ahead-with-dinesh-karthik-is-not-a-bad-move-saba-karim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dinesh Karthik</a> are likely to be the other two who will sail India’s ship in a six-ball contest. The duo has been playing the role of finishers in T20Is and can get going from ball one. Hardik can muscle the ball for huge sixes while Karthik is someone of Suryakumar’s mould and can play all across the ground.&nbsp;
In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, India are likely to give the ball to Arshdeep Singh in the Super Over. The 23-year-old has shown that he can nail yorkers consistently in the crunch overs and his temperament has impressed one and all. Though he is thin on pace, his accuracy and variations make him stand apart.

<h3>1. Australia (Batters - Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, David Warner; Bowler-Mitchell Starc)&nbsp; - 9.5 /10</h3>
<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments1662793926041_Glenn-Maxwell.jpeg" width="640" height="400" alt="">
Australia has the most intimidating Super Over arsenal of the marquee event. On the batting front, they have the likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/glenn-maxwell-determined-to-make-a-test-comeback-in-next-years-india-tour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glenn Maxwell</a>, Tim David, and David Warner to deliver the goods with the bat. Maxwell can bring his unorthodox strokes into play and also has the power game at his disposal. The ace all-rounder strikes at 151.45 in the 92 T20I matches played so far.
Talking about David, the Singapore-born is renowned to hit humongous maximums and has struck 173 of them in the shortest format. This is what makes him dangerous in a six-ball contest. Last but not the least, the Aussies have Warner who has been the team’s go-to man for pressure situations. The Australian legend who was the Player of the tournament at the last World Cup strikes at 142.58 in 94 T20Is played so far including 105 sixes.
On the bowling front, Australia have the express-pacer Mitchell Starc who has one of the deadliest Yorkers in the game. His whizzing pace and left-arm angle make him a tough customer to tackle. The 32-year-old has taken 69 wickets in 53 games and will be banked upon to deliver the goods in the super over.

In the shortest format of the game, it is seen quite often that the game goes right down the wire. There have been times that the last-ball thrillers have ended in a tie. In these cases, there is a on
