Umpires’ performances were rated after each match by the Match Referee, and feedback sought from the captains. Several factors, including decision making and technique as well as game and man-management, were considered in appointing the team to take charge of the Final, and we take this opportunity to congratulate them, and to thank all of our match officials for contributing to the success of the 2020 Hero CPL.”
