Live widget: ball-by-ball

The T20 league live scorecard opens at toss. Run rate updates after every over; required rate updates after each wicket. Powerplay scoring rate and death-overs economy are flagged with each innings.

DRS reviews appear as coloured markers beside the umpire's call. Impact-sub windows open between innings. Strategic time-outs are flagged with the batting captain's name.

DRS and stoppage-time handling

T20 leagues use two reviews per innings (compared with three in international cricket). Strategic time-outs: one per innings, 2.5 minutes. Rain delays: DLS par scores are calculated using the ICC method. Super-over rules: one-over eliminator, boundary count after tied super overs.
