Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

{{Cricket sidebar |expanded=all}}

'''Twenty20''' (abbreviated '''T20''') is a shortened  format of [[cricket]]. At the professional level, it was introduced by the [[England and Wales Cricket Board]] (ECB) in 2003 for the [[county cricket|inter-county]] competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/980687.html|title=The first official T20 in 2003|date=12 March 2016|access-date=12 March 2016|archive-date=2 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170702002949/http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/980687.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In a Twenty20 game, the two teams have a single [[innings]] each, which is restricted to a maximum of twenty [[over (cricket)|overs]]. Together with [[First-class cricket|first-class]] and [[List A]] cricket, Twenty20 is one of the three [[forms of cricket]] recognised by the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) as being played at the highest level, both internationally and domestically.

A typical Twenty20 game is completed in about three and a half hours,<ref>{{Cite web |last=icc |date=2024-01-30 |title=ICC Men's T20 World Cup: Frequently Asked Questions |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/t20-f-a-q |access-date=2024-08-06 |website=icc-cricket.com |language=en |quote=On average, an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match is approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes in duration.}}</ref> with each innings lasting around 90 minutes and an official 10-minute break between the innings. This is much shorter than previous forms of the game, and is closer to the timespan of other popular team sports. It was introduced to create a fast-paced game that would be attractive to spectators at the ground and viewers on television.

The game has succeeded in spreading around the cricket world. On most international tours there is at least one Twenty20 match and all [[Test cricket|Test]]-playing nations have a domestic cup competition.

===Twenty20 Internationals===
{{Main|Twenty20 International|Women's Twenty20 International}}
The first Twenty20 International match was held on 5 August 2004 between the [[England national women's cricket team|England]] and [[New Zealand national women's cricket team|New Zealand]] women's teams, with [[New Zealand]] winning by nine runs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricinfo.com/england/content/story/135007.html |title=Revolution at the seaside |publisher=[[Cricinfo]] |last=Miller |first=Andrew |date=6 August 2004 |access-date=24 March 2010 |archive-date=3 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230403174603/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/revolution-at-the-seaside-135007 |url-status=live }}</ref>

On 17 February 2005 [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] defeated [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] in the first men's international Twenty20 match, played at [[Eden Park]] in [[Auckland]]. The game was played in a light-hearted manner – both sides turned out in kit similar to that worn in the 1980s, the New Zealand team's a direct copy of that worn by the [[Beige Brigade]]. Some of the players also sported moustaches or beards and hairstyles popular in the 1980s, taking part in a competition amongst themselves for "best retro look", at the request of the Beige Brigade. Australia won the game comprehensively, and as the result became obvious towards the end of the NZ innings, the players and umpires took things less seriously: [[Glenn McGrath]] jokingly replayed the [[Trevor Chappell]] [[1981 underarm bowling incident|underarm incident]] from a 1981 ODI between the two sides, and [[Billy Bowden]] showed him a mock [[Red card (sports)|red card]] (red cards are not normally used in cricket) in response.

The first Twenty20 international in England was played between [[English cricket team|England]] and [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] at the [[Rose Bowl, Southampton|Rose Bowl]] in Hampshire on 13 June 2005, which England won by a margin of 100 runs, a record victory which lasted until 2007.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283283.html |title=Records / Twenty20 Internationals / Team records / Largest margin of victory (by runs) |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=17 May 2012 |archive-date=24 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424045525/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283283.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

On 9 January 2006 [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] and [[South African cricket team|South Africa]] met in the first international Twenty20 game in Australia. In a first, each player's [[List of nicknames used in cricket|nickname]] appeared on the back of his uniform, rather than his surname. The international match drew a crowd of 38,894 people at [[Brisbane Cricket Ground|The Gabba]].

On 16 February 2006 [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] defeated [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]] in a tie-breaking [[bowl-out]] 3–0; 126 runs were scored apiece in the game proper. The game was the last international match played by [[Chris Cairns]].

==== Twenty20 World Cup ====
{{Main|ICC Men's T20 World Cup|ICC Women's T20 World Cup}}
Every two years an [[ICC World Twenty20]] tournament is to take place, except in the event of an [[ICC Cricket World Cup]] being scheduled in the same year, in which case it will be held the year before. The first tournament was in [[2007 ICC World Twenty20|2007 in South Africa]] where [[India cricket team|India]] defeated [[Pakistan cricket team|Pakistan]] in the final. Two Associate teams had played in the first tournament, selected through the [[2007 ICC World Cricket League Division One]], a 50-over competition. In December 2007 it was decided to hold a qualifying tournament with a 20-over format to better prepare the teams. With six participants, two would qualify for the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20|2009 World Twenty20]] and would each receive $250,000 in prize money.<ref>{{cite web |date=13 December 2007 |title=ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier to be held in Ireland |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-world-twenty20-qualifier-to-be-held-in-ireland-325356 |access-date=17 May 2012 |work=ESPNcricinfo |archive-date=10 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220210141841/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-world-twenty20-qualifier-to-be-held-in-ireland-325356 |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[2009 ICC World Twenty20|second tournament]] was won by [[Pakistan cricket team|Pakistan]], who beat [[Sri Lanka cricket team|Sri Lanka]] by eight wickets in England on 21 June 2009. The [[2010 ICC World Twenty20]] tournament was held in the West Indies in May 2010, where [[England cricket team|England]] defeated [[Australia cricket team|Australia]] by seven wickets. The [[2012 ICC World Twenty20]] was won by the West Indies, by defeating Sri Lanka at the finals. It was the first time in cricket history when a T20 World Cup tournament took place in an Asian country. The [[2014 ICC World Twenty20]] was won by Sri Lanka, by defeating India at the finals, where the tournament was held in Bangladesh. The [[2016 ICC World Twenty20]] was won by West Indies. In July 2020, the ICC announced that both the 2020 and 2021 editions had been postponed by one year due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].

In June 2021, the ICC expanded the Twenty20 World Cup from 16 to 20 teams starting from the 2024 edition onwards.<ref>{{Cite web|title=ICC expands men's world events: ODI WC to 14 teams, T20 WC to 20 teams|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-expands-men-s-world-events-odi-world-cup-to-14-teams-t20-world-cup-to-20-teams-1264847|access-date=2021-10-27|website=ESPNcricinfo|language=en|archive-date=27 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211027181807/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-expands-men-s-world-events-odi-world-cup-to-14-teams-t20-world-cup-to-20-teams-1264847|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Impact on the game===
[[File:Twenty20 cricket start.JPG|thumb|right|300px| Twenty20 matches can have some exciting displays, such as when the batsmen run out to the pitch]]
Twenty20 cricket is claimed to have resulted in a more athletic and explosive form of cricket. Indian fitness coach [[Ramji Srinivasan]] declared in an interview with the Indian fitness website Takath.com that Twenty20 had "raised the bar" in terms of fitness levels for all players, demanding higher levels of strength, speed, agility and reaction time from all players regardless of role in the team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.takath.com/articles/20090619|title=An interview with Ramji Srinivasan|publisher=Takath.com|date=19 June 2009|access-date=22 June 2009|archive-date=8 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008182417/http://www.takath.com/articles/20090619|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Matthew Hayden]] credited retirement from international cricket with aiding his performance in general and fitness in particular in the [[Indian Premier League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/sport/cricket/hayden-heroics-shining-light-of-ipl/1511995.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090918140528/http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/sport/cricket/hayden-heroics-shining-light-of-ipl/1511995.aspx|title=Hayden heroics shining light of IPL|work=[[The Canberra Times]]|date=13 May 2009|archive-date=18 September 2009 }}</ref>

Several commentators have noted that the T20 format has been embraced by many Associate Members of the ICC partly because it is more financially viable to play.<ref>[https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/germany-brazil-thailand-t20-the-vehicle-to-drive-cricket-to-ever-newer-horizons-7585722/ Germany, Brazil, Thailand: T20 the vehicle to drive cricket to ever newer horizons] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211027181805/https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/germany-brazil-thailand-t20-the-vehicle-to-drive-cricket-to-ever-newer-horizons-7585722/ |date=27 October 2021 }} <nowiki>https://indianexpress.com/</nowiki> 23 October 2021

"We are good at T20 because that's the format in which we get maximum exposure, apart from the fact that it is financially viable", says former Afghanistan Cricket Association chief executive Shafiq Stanikzai.</ref><ref name=":0" /> T20's success has also inspired the invention of even shorter formats, such as [[T10 cricket]] and [[100-ball cricket]],<ref>{{Cite news |title=Thirty-two predictions for the future of Twenty20 cricket |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/cricket/twenty20-cricket-future-revolution-icc-tim-wigmore-freddie-wilde-a9179116.html |work=[[The Independent]]}}</ref> and its impact on cricket has been compared to or served as inspiration for innovations in other sports, such as with the [[3x3 basketball|3x3 variant]] of basketball or the Indian [[Pro Kabaddi League]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Menon,DHNS |first=Sandeep |title=Sport and culture: An evolutionary tale |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/sports/sport-and-culture-an-evolutionary-tale-1031884.html |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref>

Former Australian captain [[Ricky Ponting]], on the other hand, has criticised Twenty20 as being detrimental to Test cricket and for hampering batsmen's scoring skills and concentration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://phone.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/529427.html|title=I told Dravid not to retire – Ponting|access-date=4 February 2018|archive-date=5 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205074331/http://phone.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/529427.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Former Australian captain [[Greg Chappell]] made similar complaints, fearing that young players would play too much T20 and not develop their batting skills fully, while former England player [[Alex Tudor]] feared the same for bowling skills.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/review2013/content/story/706051.html|title=How is T20 affecting cricket?|access-date=4 February 2018|archive-date=5 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205074521/http://www.espncricinfo.com/review2013/content/story/706051.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/cricket/alex-tudor-fears-t20-is-killing-cricket-s-traditional-skills-a3213941.html|title=Alex Tudor fears T20 is killing cricket's traditional skills|date=30 March 2016|access-date=4 February 2018|archive-date=5 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205074222/https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/cricket/alex-tudor-fears-t20-is-killing-cricket-s-traditional-skills-a3213941.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Former [[West Indies]] captains [[Clive Lloyd]], [[Michael Holding]] and [[Garfield Sobers]] criticised Twenty20 for its role in discouraging players from representing their test cricket national side, with many West Indies players like [[Chris Gayle]], [[Sunil Narine]] and [[Dwayne Bravo]] preferring instead to play in a Twenty20 franchise elsewhere in the world and make far more money.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/t20-cricket-has-destroyed-west-indies-cricket-sir-garfield-sobers-2478570.html|title=T20 cricket has destroyed West Indies cricket: Sir Garfield Sobers – Firstpost|website=firstpost.com|date=22 October 2015|access-date=4 February 2018|archive-date=5 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205072238/http://www.firstpost.com/sports/t20-cricket-has-destroyed-west-indies-cricket-sir-garfield-sobers-2478570.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/816159.html|title=T20 has messed our cricket up – Lloyd|access-date=4 February 2018|archive-date=5 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205075109/http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/816159.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.express.co.uk/sport/cricket/842428/Why-isn-t-Chris-Gayle-playing-West-Indies-England-Test-cricket-series|title=Why isn't Chris Gayle playing for West Indies against England?

=== Inclusion in multi-sport events ===
In June 2009, speaking at the annual [[Cowdrey Lecture]] at [[Lord's]], former Australian wicketkeeper [[Adam Gilchrist]] pushed for Twenty20 to be made an [[Olympic sport]]. "It would," he said, "be difficult to see a better, quicker or cheaper way of spreading the game throughout the world."<ref>Quoted in [[Lawrence Booth|Booth, Lawrence]]. "Myths; And stereotypes." ''The Spin'', 30 June 2009.</ref> This became a reality starting with the [[2028 Summer Olympics]]. T20 cricket has also been accepted into the [[Asian Games]] and [[Commonwealth Games]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-10-16 |title=T20 cricket confirmed as one of five new sports at LA28 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/cricket-at-la28-cricket-confirmed-as-one-of-five-new-sports-at-la28-1403570 |access-date=2023-10-17 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref>

==Match format and rules==
===Format===
Twenty20 match format is a form of [[limited overs cricket]] in that it involves two teams, each with a single [[innings]]. The key feature is that each team bats for a maximum of 20 [[over (cricket)|overs]] (120 legal balls). The batting team members do not arrive from and depart to traditional dressing rooms, but come and go from a bench (typically a row of chairs) visible in the playing arena, analogous to association football's [[technical area]] or a baseball [[Dugout (baseball)|dugout]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/998821.html|title=Bringing back fences could help even up the contest between bat and ball, and ensure that all sixes are genuine|date=17 April 2016|access-date=14 May 2016|archive-date=21 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160521031419/http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/998821.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===General rules===
The [[Laws of Cricket]] apply to Twenty20, with major exceptions:<ref>{{cite web| url=http://twenty20worldcup.cricketworld4u.com/rules.php| title=Twenty20 Rules| access-date=5 January 2015| publisher=CricketWorld4U| archive-date=28 December 2014| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141228191508/http://twenty20worldcup.cricketworld4u.com/rules.php| url-status=dead}}</ref>

* Each bowler may bowl a maximum of only one-fifth of the total overs per innings. For a full, uninterrupted match, this is four overs.
*If a bowler delivers a [[no-ball]] by overstepping the [[Crease (cricket)|crease]], it costs one or two runs (depending on the competition) and their next delivery is designated a "[[Free hit|free-hit]]". In this circumstance the batter can only be dismissed through a [[run out]], [[Hit the ball twice|hitting the ball twice]] or [[obstructing the field]].
* The following [[Fielding (cricket)|fielding]] restrictions apply:
** No more than five fielders can be on the [[leg side]] at any time.
** During the first six overs, a maximum of two fielders can be outside the [[Fielding (cricket)#Restrictions on field placement|30-yard circle]] (this is known as the [[Powerplay (cricket)|powerplay]]).
** After the first six overs, a maximum of five fielders can be outside the fielding circle.
*** However, in Australia's [[Big Bash League]] the Powerplay is only the first 4 overs, with the batters choosing when the same restrictions apply for 2 overs in the second half of the innings, in a period called a Powersurge.
* If the fielding team does not start to bowl their 20th over within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra six runs for every whole over bowled after the 75-minute mark; the umpire may add more time to this if they believe the batting team is wasting time.

===T20 International rankings===
{{Main|ICC World Twenty20 rankings|ICC Women's ODI and T20I rankings}}
In November 2011, the ICC released the first Twenty20 International rankings for the men's game, based on the same system as the Test and ODI rankings. The rankings cover a two- to three-year period, with matches since the most recent 1 August weighted fully, matches in the preceding 12 months weighted two-thirds, and matches in the 12 months preceding that weighted one-third. To qualify for the rankings, teams must have played at least eight Twenty20 Internationals in the ranking period.<ref>[http://icc-cricket.yahoo.net/match_zone/team_ranking.php ICC Team Rankings] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120117001145/http://icc-cricket.yahoo.net/match_zone/team_ranking.php |date=17 January 2012 }}</ref><ref>Kendix, David.
