During a Powerplay in an ODI, only 3 or 2(in the compulsory Powerplay) players can field outside the 30-yard circle. There are in all 3 Powerplays. The first one is the compulsory one from 1-10 overs. And the other two Powerplays can be taken between the 16-40 overs. One Powerplay is the bowling Powerplay. That is the bowling side decides when to take it. And the other is the batting Powerplay which is decided by the batting side as to when will it be taken.

Batting Powerplay in Cricket means there are only 2 fielders outside the 30 yard circle.Bowling powerplay means there are only 3 or less fielders in the 30 yard circle for preventing fours.

A 2 minutes penalty ends with a goal. A 5 minutes penalty not.

Powerplay is a rule imposed in the shortened versions of the cricket game like ODIs or 20-20 games. During a power play only 2 fielders from the fielding team are allowed to stand outside the 30 yard circle.

This rule is actually considered as a boon to the batting team because, with lack of protection in the deep, batsmen can take risks and try to increase the score.

In ODI's powerplay is played from overs 1-10.Two other powerplays are played of 5 overs each, one picked by the bowling side 'n one by the batting side.

The batting powerplay can have only 3 fielders outside the 30 yard circle,unlike the original powerplay which can have only 2 fielders outside.Same rule is applied when bowling powerplay is taken.
