T20, or Twenty-Twenty, is a shorter format of cricket played with only 20 overs between two teams. Each team takes about 70 minutes to finish the game. In a match between two teams, whichever player plays an outstanding knock, takes most of the wickets, or puts in excellent fielding efforts deserves the man of the match award. Usually, whichever team wins the match, a player from that team wins the man of the match; otherwise, if one of the members of the losing team has done exceptionally well, that player takes the award home.
