===Cricket=== {{main|Powerplay (cricket)}} A powerplay is a feature introduced into One Day International (ODI) cricket in 1991 (and subsequently into [[Twenty20]] and [[100-ball cricket]]) concerning fielding restrictions. In a powerplay, restrictions are applied on the fielding team, with only two fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle for a set number of overs. It is intended to add to the excitement by encouraging more aggressive batting. Prior to 2015, the batting team could declare a powerplay at a time of their choice during the innings, but as of 2015, the powerplay now occurs at set times, with an ODI innings now comprising three powerplays with varying levels of restrictions.
