Varsity Twenty20 Match

The Twenty20 format of cricket was first introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2003. The game is played with two short innings of just twenty overs. This gives a very different feel to the cricket match with lots of big-hitting action and quick runs.

The inaugural Varsity Twenty20 match was held on Friday 6th June 2008 and marked a milestone as the game was incorporated into Oxbridge’s ancient Varsity tradition for the first time. The Varsity Twenty20 match precedes the four and one-day Varsity fixtures and serves as a great chance to see the form of the university’s team ahead of their Lord’s one-day game.

The match is held in University Parks and is sponsored by Charles Russell LLP. Admission is free.
