Bowling restrictions
The bowling restriction will be reduction based on the number of revised total overs, however if in the first any bowlers who exceed this limited will be replicated in the 2nd innings. eg. if 2 bowlers ball 8 overs each and the maximum if 7, then the team bowling 2nd can also have two bowlers who can ball 8 overs each.
