What is a "half-century"?

A half-century in cricket refers to a player scoring 50 runs in a single innings without being dismissed. It is considered a solid achievement and an important milestone for a batter. While not as prestigious as a century, a half-century demonstrates good batting technique and consistency. It is often seen as a sign that the player is in good form and has the potential to score more runs. A half-century can be a crucial contribution to a team's total score in a match.
