In twenty20 each team bats to the maximum of 20 overs only, contrasting with 50 overs for a standard one-day match. This simply means that the game could even be completed in about three hours. Twenty20 match are normally enjoyed by children and all families people.


The English first class counties take part in a Twenty20 Cup game annually. Many games are played in evening, to gain family spectators appeal. They also feature numerous musical ’stings’ for thrilling events: notice of a batsman, or the hitting a boundary. This new style of game had taken some of the cricketing world by storm. It is now ruling Australia, as it is full of action and appealing to the younger crowd. It is absolutely a good game overall.
