1. I didnt know that the 100 could have a tie
2. In the SL India t20 game why was the superover only 3 balls long
[incl a wide] was it
becos 2 wkts fell? surely it wasnt technically a superover?

Yeah, if you lose 2 wickets in the superover that's it

Chris Gayle did it in 2012 vs Bangladesh

I have a vague recollection that if you lose two wickets in the
super-over then you lose the game. I could easily have misremembered
though, and it might vary between competitions.

I think I remember someone - Roy Fredericks? - doing it on a WI tour of
England.

Generally I think it's "ends the innings" rather than automatically
lose (although if you're batting second in it you're either losing or
it's a tie I guess)

According to what I could find Gayle was the first batsman ever to do
it first ball of a test
