match shall be abandoned.
In the event of an interruption to play which prevents the team batting second
from receiving the same number of overs as the team batting first, the umpires
shall reduce the number of overs to be faced in the second innings by one over
for every three & one half (3.5) minutes of time lost.
If reduction calculation results in less than 20 overs, the match shall be
abandoned. This is unless the target score that would be applicable to the team
batting second having faced the minimum amount of overs indicated above, has
been exceeded, in which case the team batting second would be declared the
winners.

Inter-Association matches. In the event that a match is stopped due to heat, the
same adverse weather calculations apply.
The Duckworth Lewis Calculation method will apply (see appendix)
