Most Sixes Betting in T20 Cricket: 3-Way Tie Rules, Boundary Dimensions, and DLS Audits
Quick Summary
- Team Most Sixes is typically priced as a 3-way market (Team A, Team B, and Tie), meaning an equal sixes count loses unless you backed the Tie.
- Only balls struck directly by the bat that clear the boundary rope on the full (plus 2-point No-Ball hits that clear the rope) count as sixes.
- Running two runs plus four overthrows (total 6 runs) never counts as a boundary six in match scorecard or sportsbook rules.
- Ground dimensions, wind direction, and second-innings chase totals heavily influence six-hitting volume regardless of which team wins the match.
A team can lose a twenty-over cricket match by twenty runs and still win the six-hitting battle comfortably if a lower-order pinch-hitter clears the ropes four times in the final overs. That separation between match winner and boundary power is why most sixes betting attracts heavy attention during domestic and international T20 tournaments. Before you stake Taka on a Team Most Sixes market inside the RBAJEE cricket sportsbook, you must audit three specific rule traps that catch unprepared bettors off guard.
First Rule Audit: The 3-Way Tie Trap vs Draw No Bet
In a twenty-over match where both sides often hit between 5 and 9 maximums, finishing level on sixes—say, 7 sixes apiece—happens far more frequently than a tied match score. Because of that mathematical frequency, sportsbooks almost always list 'Team With Most Sixes' as a three-way market: Team A, Tie (Equal Sixes), and Team B.
If you back Team A in a three-way market inside the cricket betting section and both innings finish with exactly 8 sixes, your bet on Team A settles as a loss, not a refund! Always look closely at the market header before confirming your slip: if three buttons are shown (including Tie), an equal count beats both team selections.
| Boundary / Scoring Event | Runs Added to Team Total | Counts Toward 'Most Sixes' Market? |
|---|---|---|
| Ball struck by bat clears boundary rope on the full | 6 runs | Yes — counts as 1 recorded six |
| Free Hit or No-Ball struck by bat over the rope on the full | 6 runs (+1 No-Ball extra) | Yes — counts as 1 recorded six off the bat |
| Batter runs 2, fielder throws wide for 4 overthrows | 6 runs | No — recorded as runs + overthrows, not a boundary six |
| Ball clears the rope during a tie-breaking Super Over | 6 Super Over runs | No — Super Over boundaries are excluded from regulation props |
Second Rule Audit: What Counts as a Six on the Scorecard?
Sportsbooks settle boundary markets strictly according to the match scorecard column labelled '6s'. As shown in the table above, only deliveries struck by the batter's bat (or glove holding the bat) that land on or beyond the boundary cushions without bouncing count as a six.
Wait—what about an 'All-Run Six' or '2 + 4 Overthrows'? If a batter clips the ball into the deep, runs two, and the wicketkeeper misses the throw so the ball trickles to the opposite boundary for four overthrows, the scoreboard adds 6 runs to the batter and the team. However, the match scorer records zero sixes for that delivery. Similarly, sixes struck inside a Super Over after a tied match are excluded from regulation most sixes betting.
Ground Geometry, Pitch Pace, and the Low-Chase Ceiling
Evaluating which side will clear the ropes more often requires looking beyond player reputations in tournaments like the IPL or the T20 World Cup. Two physical factors dictate six-hitting frequency more than almost anything else: boundary rope distance and first-innings score.
First, stadium groundskeepers shift the boundary cushions inward or outward between matches depending on which strip on the square is used. A pitch located on the far side of the square creates a short 58-metre windward boundary on one side and a long 76-metre boundary on the other. Second, if a powerhouse batting team bowls first and dismisses the underdog for 105, the favourites may chase 106 quietly along the carpet with fours and singles, finishing with fewer sixes than the team they crushed!
- Check the toss and first-innings total: Backing a heavy favourite for Most Sixes before the toss is risky if they bowl first and restrict the opposition to a low total.
- Compare boundary hitters vs gap-finders: Some top-order batters accumulate 70 runs almost entirely through ground fours, whereas middle-order finishers hit aerial sixes.
- Audit DLS rain rules: In rain-shortened matches, most sportsbooks void 'Team Most Sixes' unless at least 80% of scheduled overs (or both innings to a set minimum) are bowled, or the result is already mathematically locked.
- Manage live stakes calmly: During live cricket betting, odds swing wildly after a two-six over—never chase losses by doubling up in the death overs.
In three steps
How to Audit a Team Most Sixes Bet on RBAJEE in 3 Steps
- 1Check Whether the Market Is 3-Way (Includes Tie)
Look at the RBAJEE market display to confirm whether 'Tie / Equal Sixes' is listed as a third option, which means equal sixes settles team bets as losses.
- 2Assess Boundary Dimensions and Toss Context
Verify the ground's boundary distances and avoid backing a chasing team for high sixes if the first-innings target is too small to require aerial risks.
- 3Read the Rain / DLS Minimum Overs Rule
Open the sportsbook cricket rules tab to verify how many overs must be completed in both innings for Most Sixes bets to stand if rain interrupts play.

Your questions
What happens to my Most Sixes bet if both teams hit the exact same number of sixes?
Because Most Sixes is almost always offered as a 3-way market (Team A, Tie, Team B), an equal number of sixes means the 'Tie' selection wins and bets on either Team A or Team B lose.
Does a six hit off a Free Hit or No-Ball count toward Team Most Sixes?
Yes. If the batter strikes a No-Ball or the subsequent Free Hit directly over the boundary rope on the full, it is recorded as a boundary six on the scorecard and counts toward the Team Most Sixes total.
Do sixes hit in a Super Over count if the teams were tied on sixes after 20 overs?
No. Standard sportsbook rules settle Most Sixes strictly on the regulation 20-over innings. If both teams hit 6 sixes in regulation, the 3-way market settles as a Tie regardless of what happens in the Super Over.
What if rain stops the match halfway through the second innings?
Unless one team has already hit so many sixes or the match is settled under specific minimum-over rules stated in the sportsbook terms, rain-abandoned matches that fail to reach the minimum overs threshold are voided and refunded.
