Basic Twenty20 RulesBelow are some of the basic Twenty20 rules of the game. Since the format is new, the rules can be modified over time.
- Twenty overs per side.
- Bowlers are restricted to 4 overs each.
- Fielding restrictions in the first six overs - 2 fielders outside circle with a minimum of two stationary fielders.
- Fielding restrictions for overs 7-20 - maximum five fielders allowed outside of circle.
- A 'no-ball' is worth 2 runs, and the batsman gets a free hit after a no-ball.
- Each side has just 80 minutes to get through their 20 overs. There is 15 minutes between innings.
- There are run penalties for each over which hasn't been bowled in the allocated time. If he doesn't, he will be ‘timed-out'
- The next batsman has 90 second after the fall of a wicket to get to the crease.
