Five fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle in overs 41-50 (ODIs)
According to this rule, there are five fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle in the last 10 overs. This means, two fielders outside the circle in the first 10 overs and from over number 11-40, four fielders are allowed outside and in the last 10, the fielding team can have a maximum of five players. So a captain has the freedom of setting field according to the match situation and batsmen’s strengths and weaknesses. Allowing five fielders outside the 30-yard circle between 41 to 50 overs is a huge relief for the fielding captains.
