The term refers to Twenty20 (T20) cricket matches played by male teams. T20 is a shortened format of cricket, generally completed within about three hours, making it one of the shortest forms of the game. An example includes international tournaments and domestic leagues featuring male cricket players competing under these specific time and over constraints.
This format’s significance stems from its ability to attract a wider audience due to its fast-paced nature and high-scoring games. It has revitalized interest in cricket, particularly among younger demographics. Historically, cricket matches could last for several days; the introduction of this abbreviated version has provided a more accessible and entertaining viewing experience, leading to increased commercial opportunities and player earnings.
