What is T20?

T20 is short for Twenty20. It’s a fun, fast-paced version of regular cricket, with each team bowling just 20 overs instead of the usual 220! That means the game lasts for a few hours (rather than four or five days!) and batters take much bigger risks to gather runs quickly. Expect plenty of balls flying, bats swinging and wickets tumbling!

DID YOU KNOW?

Before the batsmen can be declared ‘out’ in cricket, the fielding team have to shout “Howzat?!” at the umpire!

3 Facts about the Kia Oval!

The Kia Oval in South London has been home to Surrey County Cricket Club since it opened way back in 1845 – that’s when Queen Victoria was still alive, history boffins! But it’s not your average cricket stadium…

1. Prince Charles owns the land that the stadium is built on, so it’s actually rented from him!

2. The ground was home to the UK’s first ever international football matches, the first rugby union matches, and the first ever FA Cup Final!

3. The stadium has also been used as a training ground for American football teams in the NFL!
