The next T20 world cup in 2009 in england
Rules of Twenty20-
- Each side plays a maximum of 20 overs, with the game lasting 3 hours.
- Fielding restrictions are for 6 overs.
- A bowler can bowl a maximum of 4 overs.
- Should a bowler deliver a no ball by overstepping the popping crease, it costs 2 runs and his next delivery is designated a free-hit, from which the batsman can only be dismissed through a run out, for hitting the ball twice, obstructing the field or handling the ball, as is the case for the original "no ball".
- Umpires may award 5-run penalty runs at their discretion if they believe either team is wasting time.
- After the first 6 overs, a maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the 30-yard circle.
- 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), with 5 bowlers from each side delivering 2 balls each at an unguarded wicket. If the number of wickets is equal after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death.
