A short, fast form of cricket. Normal cricket can take a whole day, or even five days. In Twenty20, each team bats for only twenty overs — an over is six balls — so one match finishes in about three hours, like a football match. It started in England in 2003 to bring people back to the game, and it worked: it is now played all over the world, and the biggest Twenty20 competition is the IPL in India. Because the time is short, players hit big and take risks; fans who find long cricket slow usually like this form. People often it to T20, and you will see it written that way far more often than 'Twenty20'. You can use it as a noun ('they play Twenty20') or before another noun ('a Twenty20 match', 'the Twenty20 World Cup').
二十碼板球/T20 板球(板球的短制比賽,一隊只打二十輪投球,約三小時打完)
組成twenty + 20 — the number written twice, once in letters and once in digits, because each side gets twenty overs. Nothing deeper than that; it is a modern invented name.
