Asia Cup 2023 Rules

Asia Cup 2023 Rules: The Asia Cup 2023 tournament will follow the One Day International format and a total of 50 overs bowled per inning. Check out the Asia Cup 2023 Rules below:

  • Each team will bowl a total of 50 overs during their inning.
  • The match will be played between two teams of 11 players and the winning captain at the toss decides whether their team will bat or bowl first.
  • Each bowler is restricted to bowling a maximum of 10 overs, therefore teams often have five competent bowlers within their line-ups.
  • In addition to this, there are three levels of fielding restrictions which are known as powerplays.
    • Powerplay 1: For the first 10 overs of both innings, the fielding team may have up to two fielders outside the 30-yard circle which encourages attacking fields during the first powerplay.
    • Powerplay 2: Between overs 11 to 40, four fielders are allowed to be positioned outside the 30-yard circle.
    • Powerplay 3: During the final 10 overs, five fielders will be allowed outside the 30-yard circle.
  • If a batsman gets out of some way (like LBW, caught behind etc.) and the fielding team does not appeal for out then the batsman can not be given out even if the batsman was clearly out. An appeal is mandatory as per the ICC’s rule number 27
  • A batsman is declared out if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps. If the bails don’t fall even after the ball hits the wicket then the batsman shall be declared Not out.
  • A batsman is declared out if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps. If the bails don’t fall even after the ball hits the wicket then the batsman shall be declared Not out.
  • If the striker is dismissed/caught, runs from that delivery completed by the batsmen before the completion of the catch shall not be scored or counted as run.
  • At least 14.28 overs should be thrown in the one-day match every hour, otherwise, the captain of the fielding side shall be penalised for a slow over-rate.
