Every team has batters who are really impressive in terms of scoring runs at a rate of knots. We have seen how batters go about their business, especially in the powerplay overs. It is absolutely imperative for the batsmen to maximize the powerplay overs.
When the fielding restrictions are imposed on the bowling side, it becomes much easier for the batting team to inflict a lot of damage. Since only two fielders are permitted the 30-yard circle, the batters tend to capitalize on the chances to better effect.
