Answer 2

Twenty20 is a form of cricket, originally introduced in the United Kingdom for professional inter-county competition by the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2003. It is a type of single innings cricket in which each team bats for a maximum of only 20 overs and closely resembles a form of the game which has been popular in English amateur cricket since at least the 1960's.

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 as such 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 in India so far only to a minor extent) 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 start to bowl their 20th over within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra 6 runs for every whole over bowled after the 75 minute mark, the umpire may add more time to this, if at his discretion the fielding team is wasting time.

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.

Answer 3

Twenty20 match is a match of 20-20 overs, means that the each team plays 20 overs' innings. The fielding restriction overs are changed. It's a new type of cricket. India and Soth Africa will play a 20-20 match on 1st Dec 2006.

Answer 4

Its a fast type of cricket where an innings is limited to 20 overs. Here a bowler can bowl maximum of 4 overs. There is a change in rule regarding no balls where a free hit ball is bowled after a no ball in which though it is a legal delivery rules of no ball applies i.e. player can only be run out. also 2 runs are awarded for widde balls and no balls. Ocer all its a quick form of cricket and very exciting.

Answer 5

instead of 50 overs it is 20.
