Powerplay Rules Explained with Cricket Infographic Now

We’re out with a brand new infographic. It’s no secret that the game of Cricket is very much a religion in this part of the world. And with the 2011 Cricket World Cup well under way, there’s little else on people’s mind.

We try to shed light on a phenomenon that is reason for as much confusion as it is for tremendous excitement during each match – the dreaded Powerplays. More specifically, the Batting Powerplays! So far in the 2011 World Cup, Batting Powerplays haven’t always worked out well for teams. Right from struggling to figure out the best time to use them, to making the most of it without disrupting the rhythm of batsmen already used to taking singles in the middle overs, it has often resulted in more damage than good for the batting team.

As our latest infographic focuses on Cricket, it automatically comes with a disclaimer of its own – if you aren’t too much a fan of the game, you are very likely to remain as confused as we were before we sat and tried making sense of it all! But for those die hard fans, our infographic attempts to make sense of how the teams have been faring so far and who comes out on top. Let us know what you think.
