'Free Hit' in Twenty20 Match

[babubangla]

I never saw any Twenty20 Match live before until today.
So, today I found out there is a FREE HIT Rule in Twenty20 match.

If a bowler bowls a foot-fault No-Ball, the batting side gets a additional balls as usual but it’s a FREE HIT Ball which means the batsman is free to hit the ball anyway and he will not get out except run-out. But in regular cricket match, batsman will not get out only in the ball being called NO and the additional ball is a regular ball. I did not know about this Twenty20 FREE HIT rule before.

If these Twenty20 matches become widespread international match one day, I guess Bangladesh will have better prospect in this. Because it is easier to do good in shorter version matches.
