Answer 1

Few have already given u links to sites with rules. So I'll mainly go through the 'cool' aspects of the game-- how it enhances your cricket watching experience. you can always get rules by doing a search

1) You can get back from office or school & still have an entire action-packed game. It’s just like going for a movie or a football game
2) Game watching experience in TV--the game is not just a reduced cricket match-but an entirely new commercial package!!

*Sky sports, the official broadcasters of the game, has introduced the idea 'man on mic' .so you can actually hear from a player, when the match is in progress. So commentators can actually talk with a fielder just as he takes a catch & so on. Isn’t that cool-you get to hear all the strategies being worked out, captains justifying sudden change in field placements....

*Helmet cam -you can actually watch the ball from a batsman's perspective, with a camera attached to the helmet

3)'Bowl Out'-It brings all the excitement of a penalty shoot out into the game of cricket! It comes into play when a match gets tied. Players from both the sides are made to bowl at stumps without batsmen in front!! (Its a rare occurrence though-I Think it just happened twice in history. once in international level & once in semifinals of the English twenty-20 cup-but it sure is great fun)

4) Free hit -In normal cricket batsman can't take advantage of a no-ball as in most cases the call is made after the bowl is played. In twenty-20 the ball after a no-ball is a free hit. Batsmen can get prepared to slog the ball-& the crowd starts to roar just as the bowl is about to be bowled & when he misses it .......the roar ends as a low echo-

5) You can see some good improvisation when batsmen just try to invent new shorts for quick scoring! & some good balling at the dead-mixing of yorkers ,slower balls...& plenty of action. Its entertainment guaranteed.

Answer 2

twenty20 contains 20 overs
ODI has 50 overs

a stadium for twenty20 is usual size, whereas the boundaries are much smaller.

Timeout in twenty20 is 90 seconds
ODI timeout is 120 seconds

On a no-ball, or wide- a run, and two extra balls are given, with the first ball being a free hit (no one can get out except for run-out, stump)
ODI gives only a free ball, no extra hit.

twenty20 is a much faster game as compared to ODI, and is very hard-hitting too.

Answer 3

in twenty20 there r total no of overs is 20.
and in ODi total no. of overs are 50.
and some rules r also different.

Answer 4

in 20 20 cricket each sides play 20 overs and in odi each side plays 50 overs

Answer 5

twenty20 Regular odi

boundaries shorter larger boundaries
free hit incase of noball/wide no such free hits
(batsman cannot be out except
run out or stumping)

Answer 6

Normal One day matches have each team playing fifty overs each.in twenty 20 matches they play 20 overs each.ODi is smaller version of test match.twenty 20 is smaller version of ODI.

Answer 7

I think 20-20 is just 20 overs each
