Power play rule in one day cricket

Filed under cricket info


I truly expect Itsonlycricket readers to know their cricket (obvious rules & regulations) but my cricket blog also require to impress the newer ones. doing so, I'll explain what is the number of fielders inside (outside) circle rule in One day cricket.. better known as Cricket Powerplay rule.

Start with first 10 overs of every ODI innings.. all (but two) fielders inside the 30 yard circle.
Then, the fielding captain has to opt for two slots of 5 overs each (PP1 & PP2), when he'll again call all (but two) fielders inside that same 30 yard circle, usually marked with white dotts or stripe as shown in the picture.

Once taken (whether at 21st over or 41st), five overs from then on will have just two fielders outside that same inside circle.

It, in fact, is that simple as it sounds. Previously the fielding restriction were mandatory for first 15 overs, but now they are 20 overs in all. how better it is from the past rule.. well, job of captain has just got extended. who should bowl, how much he should bowl is added with to many fielders his bowlers should bowl with. The full trick.

When ICC introduced this new ODI rule of power-plays, they had also given super-sub rule a try. which failed. & inside 6 months, it was taken away from International cricket.

but 'rule of power play in one day cricket' still rules.
