(278,056 posts)2. Just follow any YouTube rules of the game for T20
Its about runs and wickets. Take those ten wickets and stop the runs. Batsmen/batters can be dismissed a few ways.
We should win this
20 overs - six balls unless bowler delivers a wide or no ball. No ball is a free hit. Wide an extra run.
Wicket now
We won the toss and chose to bowl.
Wicket #1
Jamaican Russell gets Jamaican born Taylor out ct.
3/1

In cricket, the term "minnows" is used to refer to teams that are considered to be weaker or less experienced compared to the more established and successful cricketing nations. These teams are often from smaller or less prominent cricketing countries and may not have as much international cricketing experience or success.
The term "minnows" is sometimes used in a somewhat derogatory manner to describe these teams, implying that they are not as competitive or formidable as the more established cricketing nations. However, it's essential to recognize that these teams still play an important role in the development and growth of cricket globally, and they often provide opportunities for players from smaller cricketing nations to showcase their skills on the international stage.
In recent years, there has been a push to promote greater inclusivity and support for these so-called minnow teams in international cricket, with efforts to provide them with more opportunities to compete against top-tier teams and improve their skills and competitiveness.
