PowerPlay in cricket is a controlled set of fielding restrictions that may occur at certain intervals or overs to control and manipulate the course of cricket. It is usually seen in limited-overs formats, ODIs and T20s. It is intended to provide an exciting and fine balance between bat versus ball as the placement of fielders outside the 30-yard circle is assessed, encouraging aggressive batting but allowing the bowling team to use strategic fielding.
