lets read the rules of Twenty20 cricket matches (if any rules ve been missed ... dont hasitate to add frendz
)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FIELDING
As in ODIs, during the 'Powerplay' overs (1-6 in T20) a maximum of two fielders can be outside the 30-yard ring. Also two men, besides the wicketkeeper, must be 'close fielders' — at slip or within 15 yards of the bat.
Once Powerplay overs are completed, no close fielders are necessary and a maximum of five fielders can be outside the 30-yard ring. Finally, no more than five fielders can be on the leg-side at any time.
BOWLING
Bowlers may bowl a maximum of 4 overs per innings (in rain-affected matches, no bowler may bowl more than a fifth of the allotted overs).
In terms of wides, strict ODI interpretation will be applied and only one legal bouncer (above the upright batsman's shoulder but below his head height) per over is allowed.
Front-foot no-balls will result in 2 runs being added to the batting team's total and the next delivery being designated a 'free hit'. A batsman can only be out from a 'free hit' if he is run out, hits the ball twice, obstructs the field or handles the ball.
TIME
Umpires may award a 5-run penalty for wasting time. If the fielding team does not start to bowl their 20th over within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra five runs for every whole over bowled after the 75-minute mark.
An incoming batsman must be in position to take guard or for his partner to receive the next ball within 90 seconds of the fall of the previous wicket or he will be timed out.
TIED MATCHES
If the match ends with the scores tied and there must be a winner, the tie is broken with a bowl-out (similar to a penalty shoot-out in football) culminating in a sudden death.
RAIN
Each side must have a minimum of five overs' batting to constitute a match. In the event of rain affecting the game, Duckworth-Lewis rules will apply.
In rain-reduced matches, the following Powerplay overs will apply for both innings: 1 (5-6 over match), 2 (7-9), 3 (10-13), 4 (14-16), 5 (17-19).
