What the competition is
The competition has men’s and women’s fixtures under city-based team identities. A remaining-balls display is meaningful because the innings limit is expressed in balls rather than six-ball overs. Five- and ten-ball bowling sequences are part of its own rules, not a malfunctioning cricket graphic. The competition’s official rules explain the applicable powerplay and bowling limits.
Following the competition
Use the men’s or women’s competition label as well as the team names. A double-header can involve the same club brands in different matches. In a chase, compare the target with balls remaining; an abbreviated over display from another cricket format can be misleading. Save the actual session start rather than assuming both matches begin together.
