'''Twenty20''' ('''T20''') is a shortened game 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 20 [[over (cricket)|overs]].

A typical Twenty20 game is completed in about two and a half hours, with each innings lasting around 70 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.
