hi friends. may be you noticed this.may be you didn't. it goes like this. the first 10 overs,you see something like P1 right next to the score. mostly during the 11th over,it changes to P2.indicating powerplay 2. but the thing is,untill the batting team choses to use the batting powerplay,the P2 remains in the score card as if indicating that the powerplay 2 is still on. same with powerplay 3. any novice might think that you have 10 P1 powerplay ,24 P2 powerplays and 16 P3 powerplays (if batting powerplay is taken in the 35th over ) even we dont know when the powerplay gets over. i dont know why no one fixed this bug,but it is bugging me out .

Actually I saw it myself and was very confused the first time I saw it. Then I saw the subtle difference, that the color is different when the powerplay is in progress. It is black or red depending on whether it is in progress or whether it is completed. So that is how they are indicating the powerplays in progress and last powerplay taken. I agree that it is confusing and should be shown in a better manner. Cheers! Ram
