Power play
Briefly explain the following:
A power-play
Answer in Brief
Solution
- A power play feature was introduced into One Day International Cricket in 1991.
- The ICC introduced this rule in 2005 to improve the middle overs of one-day internationals. It requires the bowling side to take three blocks of overs in which extra fielders must be present within the 30-yard circle.
- The first power play is necessary for the first ten overs of the innings; the second and third, each for five overs, can be taken at any moment.
- In rain-shortened games, the duration of the second and third power plays is proportional to the overall reduction.
