What is T20 Cricket? 

A T20 cricket match is a fast-paced, shortened version of cricket where each team bats for a maximum of 20 overs (120 balls). It’s a high stakes game where competitors will adopt more aggressive batting and fielding strategies to maximise runs. The high scoring and quick finishes make for a thrilling spectacle with many matches decided by a narrow margin. The shorter, exciting nature of T20 make it accessible (and more family friendly) to a wider audience and new fans of the game. A T20 match lasts around three hours.

When and Where Is It Happening? 

The T20 International will take place at Gold Coast Stadium in Carrara on November 6, 2025. Tickets are still available here. Get them before they’re gone and be part of this electrifying sporting spectacle where you’ll witness some of the best cricket players in the world playing hard and fast.
