ISPL Season 2 Kicks Off On January 26: Here's All You Need To Know

The Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) is all set for its second season at Thane's Dadoji Kondadev Stadium on Sunday, a release said. India's pioneering tennis-ball T10 cricket tournament, played inside a stadium, promises to captivate fans with a bigger and more exciting spectacle this season, it said. The league's leadership includes the Core Committee Members Sachin Tendulkar, Ashish Shelar, Minal Amol Kale and Suraj Samat, who's also the League Commissioner, the release said. With 34 matches and live performances by renowned artists over 21 days, ISPL Season 2 will offer an exciting fusion of sports and entertainment, the release said.

Each team will face the other five teams twice in the league stage before the playoffs, consisting of Qualifier, Eliminator 1, Eliminator 2 and Final. Each team will play 10 overs with one bowler bowling a maximum of two overs.

There will be three overs of power play. The first two overs will be mandatory bowling power play for each inning where only two players can field out of a 30-yard circle. There will be one over of batting power play that can be taken from six to eight over by the batting team where the maximum of three players would be out of a 30-yard circle.

The bowling team needs to bowl a minimum of one over and is allowed to select a maximum of two overs to be bowled with Tape Ball of ISPL (third, fourth, fifth or ninth over). The tape ball acts as an improvised cricket ball with the tape stretched tightly over the fuzzy felt-like covering of a tennis ball to ensure a smooth surface that produces a greater pace after bouncing.
