Follow-on is a rule in cricket matches having more than 2 innings. In international cricket its applicable to test cricket. Follow on is given to team playing in 2nd innings if it is short by a high margin(200 runs in test cricket) compared to runs made by team in 1st inning. This forces the team batting in 2nd inning to bat again in the 3rd inning as well.

Super over in twenty20 cricket
To broaden the excitement in t20 cricket, the Super overs rule has been introduced. Though test and ODI match can end up in draw, super over prevents twenty20 matches from ending in draw. It has replaced the bowl out rule in which only the bowler had a part to play.
Rules of super over in 20-20 cricket:
1. Each team decides a bowler to bowl and three batsmen to bat during one over named as the super over. The same ball used in the match will be used in super over.
2. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the super over.
3. Team A will score some runs in the first over and team B needs to chase it successfully to win the match. In case, it is unable to chase, team A wins.
3. In case scores are level, the team hitting maximum sixes in the match will win. If its also same, the teams with maximum fours win the match.
4)In case two wickets fell, it is counted as all-out and the total made before loosing the wicket is final.
5) UPDATE: About field restrictions: No field restrictions are used which means the field setting are same as the non-powerplay overs. So, 5 filders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle. Filder in catching position is not required.
It has been brought to twenty20 cricket from Standford twenty20. The first international twenty20 in which tie was ended with a super over was New Zealand vs West Indies. In IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight riders, this rule as implemented after with Rajasthan won Kolkata.
