Twenty 20 cricket, or T20 as it is commonly known, is the shortest and most explosive form of the game. At Cricketics it is our favorite form of the game too and we spend a lot of time watching all the major events!
There are 5 major T20 tournaments alongside some international series and an international world cup. The IPL is the biggest and the best of the tournaments followed by Australias Big Bash.
We cover each tournament in great depth sharing our knowledge of betting and our knowledge of T20 cricket with you.
We cover the main 5 leagues in depth with full tournament previews, historical stats, team stats, and the top players. We will also cover international events at the same depth. Where possible we will cover the smaller events like the Super Smash from Austalia and the T20 Abu Dhabi.
