Short Answer: A dead heat occurs in markets like 'Top Team Batsman' if two or more players finish with the exact same number of runs.
1. The Payout Reduction
In a dead heat, your stake is divided by the number of players involved in the tie. If you bet R100 on Quinton de Kock at 4/1 and he ties for top scorer with one other player, your stake becomes R50. You would win R50 x 4 = R200 (plus your R50 stake back), totaling R250.
2. Ties for Wickets
The same rule applies to 'Top Bowler'. If two bowlers take 3 wickets each, the tie is usually broken by who conceded the fewer runs. If they are still tied on runs, then the standard dead-heat stake-division rule applies.
