TOI explains the law which forced both sides to make crucial fielding changes...Both India and Pakistan failed to complete their quota of overs within the stipulated time, which forced them to put an extra fielder inside the circle towards the end of the innings, as mandated by the new overrate penalty laws. This proved to be a particularly important factor during India's chase. - In the new ICC T20I playing conditions, if the bowling team fails to bowl the first ball of the final over of their innings within the stipulated time, they will lose one fielder from outside of the 30-yard circle for the remainder of the innings.
