T20 Cricket

Cricket's most explosive format. Twenty overs, massive hitting, and pure entertainment. From the global dominance of the IPL to the summer nights of the Vitality Blast, T20 is the game's modern engine.

Format Essentials

The rules that transformed cricket into a prime-time television staple.

Balls
120 per Side

Just 20 overs to set a target. Every delivery is a high-risk, high-reward opportunity.

Duration
~3 Hours

Compact enough for evening viewing, mirroring the length of a major film or football match.

Powerplay
Field Restrictions

The first 6 overs limit the fielding side, encouraging aggressive boundary hitting.

The Franchise Revolution

T20 has driven the creation of city-based franchise leagues globally. Unlike traditional international cricket, these leagues allow players from different nations to play together in permanent squads, creating a new layer of tribalism and year-round high-stakes action.
