SSC CHSL - 04 July 2024 - Shift 1 • General Awareness • Q30

What is the minimum over rate per hour in a test match?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 15 over per hour.

 

The minimum over rate per hour in a Test match, as per the International Cricket Council (ICC) regulations, is 15 overs per hour. This means that the fielding team is expected to complete at least 15 overs within 60 minutes. If the over rate is found to be below the required rate, the captain may face penalties, such as fines or suspensions, depending on the severity of the violation. This rule ensures the game progresses at a reasonable pace.
