If 7 wickets fall in the second half also, the 8th player can play alone but he can only score in 'even number' (2,4,6) like he can only run for 2 runs, and he can't run for 1 or 3 runs, however, he can also hit four of a six.

Possibility 1:- If all three teams have made the equal scores, then all three will be declared winners and will be awarded a gold medal.
Possibility 2:- If two teams have scored 150-150 and one team has 100 then what will happen?
In such a situation a super over will be played between the teams with equal scores and the team with more runs in super-over will win the match.
Possibility 3: - If one team scored 120 and the other two teams scored 100-100, then in such a situation, the team scoring 120 runs will be given gold and the teams with 100 runs will be given the silver medal.
