The 2024 Lanka Premier League (LPL) is set to introduce an exhilarating new feature called ‘ Power Blast Overs ’ towards the conclusion of each innings.
According to the event organizers, this innovation will provide each team with a two-over power play during the 16th and 17th overs of their innings. This new addition will supplement the traditional power play that takes place during the first six overs.
During the ‘ Power Blast Overs’ only four fielders will be allowed outside the circle, fostering a more aggressive and engaging phase of the game.
“We decided to introduce this change to enhance the excitement of the league, which continues to grow annually,” said Mr. Samantha Dodanwela, Tournament Director of the Lanka Premier League 2024.
“This new feature is expected to generate significant enthusiasm among the fans, and the teams will need to strategize effectively to capitalize on this period,” he added.
The ‘ Power Blast Overs ’ aim to enrich the viewing experience and add a strategic layer to the game, promising more action-packed moments for cricket fans.
