Under the tweaked playing conditions, there will be only two blocks of fielding restrictions: the first ten overs, when a maximum of two fielders can be placed outside the 30-yard circle, and a second block of five overs - the batting Powerplay, when three fielders are allowed outside the circle - that needs to be completed by the 40th over. The bowling Powerplay has been done away with.
