Twenty20 cricket

Twenty20 cricket (T20) is a fast-paced variation of traditional cricket, where each team plays a single innings of up to 20 overs (120 balls). The goal is to score more runs than the opposing team within this limited time. Matches typically last about three hours, emphasizing aggressive batting and dynamic fielding. Because of the shorter format, T20 cricket encourages innovative strokes and strategic risk-taking, making it highly energetic and entertainment-focused. It's popular worldwide for its concise, exciting style, balancing skill and entertainment, and often features colorful atmospheres and passionate crowds.
