T20 cricket was one of the most popular formats in cricket. It is a limited-overs match in which each team plays 20 overs. This T20 format is most popular because, as the overs are limited, the 1st batting team must score as much as possible and need to defend that score in the second innings. So, the batsman should score maximum runs through boundaries as the overs are limited. The team with the best hitting batters and bowlers with variations in bowling will win the game.
