If T20 was introduced to make cricket more exciting, Powerplays were introduced to make T20 more exciting. All the batsman has to do is swing at the ball, make sure to connect and then run, unless of course the ball crosses the boundary line. It really makes the fielding captain think and the bowler has very little margin for error. In this season of the IPL everything from placing players at deep long on and deep mid wicket to having spinners bowl the first over has been tried to try and stem the flow of runs in the first 6 overs. But unfortunately, on an average, the most the fielding team can hope for is a couple of wickets cause the runs are bound to come.
