Solution
The latest rules of Twenty-Twenty (T20) cricket are designed to make the game fast-paced and exciting. Following are some key rules:
- 20 Overs Per Side: Each team bats for 20 overs, making the match shorter and more competitive.
- Powerplay: Only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle for the first six overs. Up to five fielders can leave the circle after the Powerplay.
- Free Hit for No-ball: If a bowler oversteps and bowls a no-ball, the batting team gets a free hit and cannot dismiss the batter save via run-out.
- Time Limits: Teams must bowl their overs on time. Slow overrates might result in penalties like reducing fielders outside the circle in the final overs.
- Super Over for Tie: If the match ends in a tie, each side plays one more over to decide the winner.
