Maximum how many overs can a bowler bowl in ODI cricket matches?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 10

  • In One Day International (ODI) cricket matches, a bowler can bowl a maximum of 10 overs in a single inning. This rule aims to ensure a balance between batting and bowling opportunities for both teams in limited-overs formats. 
  • In One Day International (ODI) cricket, each team is allocated a fixed number of overs, usually 50 overs per side, for both batting and bowling. Unlike Test matches, which can extend over five days, ODI matches are completed within a single day.
