It was due to launch in 2020 but delayed by a year following the Covid-19 pandemic.There are eight teams in the competition, each representing cities of the UK, rather than the traditional county structure. Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers, Oval Invincibles, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire are the eight teams.The men's and women's tournaments run simultaneously and each match sees both team bat for 100 balls, with the highest score winning.Each bowler can bowl a maximum of 20 balls each, and in five or 10-ball sets. A powerplay - a section of the innings where the fielding side are only allowed two fielders on the boundary - lasts 25 balls per innings.Matches are designed to last for two-and-a-half hours in total, making it the fastest format of the game played in the UK and more attractive to TV broadcasters.
