An ODI (One Day International) match is 50 overs per side, so a full game is a maximum of 100 overs in total.

Quick Scoop

  • In standard ODIs, each team can bat for up to 50 overs unless bowled out earlier.
  • Current ICC playing conditions state “one innings per side, each innings being limited to a maximum of 50 overs.”
  • In the early years of ODIs, limits varied (around 40–60 overs per side), but the format has been uniformly fixed at 50 overs since the mid‑1990s.
  • Weather or other interruptions can reduce the overs (using methods like Duckworth–Lewis–Stern), but the original scheduled length is still 50 overs per team.

In simple terms: a “proper” ODI today means 50 overs for each team, as long as conditions allow.

TL;DR: ODI cricket = 50 overs per side, with adjustments only when the match is shortened by factors like rain.
