Twenty20 is a format of limited-overs cricket that features matches lasting a maximum of 20 overs per side. Introduced in the early 2000s, it aims to create a fast-paced and entertaining experience for players and spectators alike. Each team has a set number of overs to score as many runs as possible, making it a thrilling spectacle.
The format has gained immense popularity worldwide, leading to the establishment of various domestic leagues, such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Big Bash League. These tournaments attract top players and large audiences, significantly influencing the global cricket landscape.
