Twenty20 cricket was originally introduced in the United Kingdom for inter-county competition by the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2003. It is a form of single innings cricket in which each team bats for a maximum of only 20 overs.A twenty20 game is completed in about three hours, with each innings lasting around 75 minutes. Twenty20 is a cricket game which can be completed within the same timespan as many other team sports such as Association Football and Rugby Football. It was introduced to create a lively form of the game which would be attractive to spectators at the ground and viewers on television and it has been very successful. The ECB did not intend that Twenty20 would replace other forms of the county game and these have continued alongside it. The game has now spread around the cricket world (although not to India) and there have also been some Twenty20 internationals..
The Laws of cricket apply to Twenty20 with some exceptions:
Should a bowler deliver a no ball by overstepping the popping crease,it costs 2 runs and his next delivery is designated a free-hit, from which the batsman can only be dismissed through a run out, as is the case for the original "no ball".
Bowlers may bowl a maximum of only 4 overs per innings, as is standard for 20-over cricket.
Umpires may award 5-run penalty runs at their discretion if they believe either team is wasting time.
If the fielding team do not complete bowling their 20 overs within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra 6 runs for every whole over bowled after the 75 minute mark.
The following fielding restrictions apply:
No more than 5 fielders can be on the leg side at any time.
During the first 6 overs, a maximum of 2 fielders can be outside the fielding circle.
After the first 6 overs, a maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the fielding circle.
If the match ends with the scores tied and there must be a winner, the tie is broken with a bowl-out (similar to a penalty shootout in football), with 5 bowlers from each side delivering 2 balls each at an unguarded wicket. If the number of wickets is equal after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death.
Hope you understand this and also like this.

It was first played in England in 2002 to boost spectator numbers for dwindling county crowds. Too many people complained the overcrowded schedule meant midweek games were hard to attend, and matches took too much time to complete. So they devised a format for people to go after work, and still be home by 10.30pm.
