The ‘Power Surge feature will bring a tweak to the powerplay. Now, it will be just first four overs of powerplay. But the twist is that the batting team can opt for the remaining two powerplay overs from 11th over of the innings onwards.

The X-factor is Super Sub who will be initially named as 12th or 13th man. The X-factor player can come in as a sub at the 10th over of the first innings and can replace any player who is yet to bat or has bowled no more than a single over.
The BBL 10 will witness winning team getting as many as four points instead of the previous two with three points available for comfortable wins and an extra point for staying ahead of on the comparison at the 10-over mark. If the team scores as level at 10 overs, the point will be divided 0.5 to each team.
