Twenty20 Cricket Rules

• In a single innings, each of the bowlers can bowl a maximum of only one-fifth of the total overs i.e. 4 overs in a total of 20 overs.
• If a bowler ever delivers a ball overstepping the popping crease, it is a no-ball. The batting team gets one run for the ball and the next delivery is a free hit. In other words, in the next ball, the batsmen can only be dismissed through a run out.
• If either of the umpires believes that a team is wasting time, he can award a five-run penalty, at his own discretion.
• In a normal T20 game, the interval lasts for 20 minutes. However, in a reduced-overs match, it can be cut to 10 minutes.
• If, and only if, each of the two teams has faced (or had the opportunity to face) five overs, will be a match deemed to have played.
• In each Twenty20 cricket match, one short-pitched ball is allowed per over.
• To calculate a team's net run rate, the average runs per over scored by that team is deducted from the average runs per over scored against it.

• At the most, five fielders can be on the leg side, at any given point of time.
• In the first six overs of a T20 game, there cannot be more than two fielders outside the 30-yard circle.
• There can be a maximum of five fielders outside the fielding circle, after the first six overs end.
• The fielding team has to start bowling its 20th over within 80 minutes. If it fails to do so, extra six runs will be added to the batting team's score, for every whole over bowled after the 80 minute-mark. In case the umpire believes that the batting team is wasting time, he may add more time to this.
