Traditional Test matches dominated the Cricket landscape for the majority of the game's history, but the game gradually began shifting towards the limited overs format towards the end of the 20th century, with ODI (One Day International) Cricket first introduced in the 1970s.

With the success of this format, the powers at be opted to focus more on quick-fire aspects of the game, with Twenty20 (T20) Cricket coming onto the scene in the early 2000's.

Over the last two decades, countless T20 competitions - both International and Domestic - have been established in countries all over the world, including the Super Smash in New Zealand and Big Bash League in Australia.
