Twenty20 Cricket is a short format of the game that features two teams, each playing a single innings limited to a maximum of 20 overs. This format was introduced in 2003 to create a faster-paced and more exciting version of cricket, appealing to a broader audience. Matches typically last around three hours, making them suitable for spectators and television broadcasts. In Twenty20, each team aims to score as many runs as possible within their 20 overs, while the opposing team tries to restrict runs and take wickets. The format has gained immense popularity, leading to various domestic leagues, such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), showcasing international talent and thrilling matches.
