Tape Ball Over: As the name suggests, a tape ball over is one which is bowled using a tape ball. A tape ball is made by covering a tennis ball with tape and it is pretty popular when it comes to street cricket. Hence the feature has been included in the ISPL. As per ISPL rules, every bowling team will need to have atleast one over and a maximum of two, with the tape ball.

9-Street Runs: This is another common street cricket rule that fans would be aware of. If a batsman hits the ball that goes straight into the audience, he would be awarded nine runs instead of six. The fans watching ISPL 2025 matches also have something to cheer about as those who manage to catch the ball will get a sum of Rs 3,000 from ISPL as an award.

50-50 Over: The 50-50 over is an interesting innovation in the ISPL. In the 50-50 over, a batting team can set a certain target for the bowling team to chase it down in order to get additional runs. The team setting the target needs to score atleast 16 runs. If the batting team completes the run chase successfully, 50% of the runs scored in the 50-50 over will be added to the team total after the over. If not, 50% of the runs scored will be deducted.
