What is T20 Blast?
The T20 Blast utilises the shortest form of cricket, Twenty20.
In this format, each team has just 20, six-ball overs to score as many runs as possible. Bowlers are restricted to four overs each. The format provides a more exciting, fast-paced version of the sport and it has been extremely successful in other competitions such as the Indian Premier League.
