I hope you already know that this time, 16 teams are playing in World Cup Cricket. The format of the game has been radically changed and we have some new regulations too. Reuters has reported about it.
It wrote:
*Key innovations:
Powerplay - Fielding restrictions when only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-metre circle surrounding the wicket with at least two in catching positions will be applied in three blocks totalling 20 overs.
The first powerplay of 10 overs automatically comes into force at the start of an innings. The fielding captain must then nominate two five-over spells when restrictions will apply.
Bowl-out - Cricket's equivalent of soccer's penalty shootout if the semi-finals or final end in a tie. Bowlers from opposing teams take turns to bowl at a set of three stumps. The team with the most hits after five deliveries each is the winner.
So, go ahead and read the full report from Reuters. It is an interesting report. I could know about some interesting things about World Cup Cricket 2007.
