In "The Hundred" cricket format, the concept of traditional "overs" does not exist. Instead, each innings consists of 100 balls.
Explanation
"The Hundred" is a cricket format designed to shorten the game and make it more exciting. A key difference from traditional cricket is the way bowling is structured.
-
No Overs: Unlike traditional cricket, there are no "overs" of 6 balls each.
-
100 Balls per Innings: Each team bats for 100 balls.
-
Bowling Structure: Bowlers deliver either 5 or 10 consecutive balls. A bowler can bowl a maximum of 20 balls in the innings. The captain decides how many balls a bowler will bowl at a time.
Therefore, answering the question directly, there are no overs in 100 cricket as it is played in "The Hundred" format. The game is defined by the total number of balls bowled.
