The T20 Format

Each team has 11 players with each team bowling a maximum of 20 overs.

Teams have one innings with the bat and then another with the ball.

First 6 overs is called the Power-play – this means that the fielding team are only allowed two of there players outside of the 30 yard circle.

After the power-play a maximum of five fielders are allowed outside of the 30 yard circle.

The team who has scored the most runs after each team has had their 20 overs with the bat is declared the winner.

However if the score is tied at the end of end of the match a super over will be played and consist of 6 balls for each team in a bid to determine an overall winner.
