What is "limited overs cricket"?
Limited-overs cricket is a format where each team is allowed to bowl a set number of overs, with each over consisting of six legal deliveries or balls bowled by one player. This format is faster than traditional cricket, as it is designed to complete within a single day. The most common versions are One Day International (ODI), where each team bowls 50 overs, and Twenty20 (T20), where each team bowls 20 overs. The team with the most runs at the end of their allotted overs wins the match. Limited-overs cricket is popular for its exciting pace and the emphasis on aggressive batting.
