What is the duration between 2 innings of an ODI?

Postby 1224823 » Tue Mar 03, 2026 4:22 am

According to the ICC rules, the relaxation time between innings one and two is officially 45 minutes in ODI cricket. This period commences right after the completion of the first team after 50 overs or as soon as a team is bowled out. The time of Innings Break in ODI gives the players a chance to rest physically after spending many hours on the field. At this time, teams discussed in the dressing room to refresh themselves, to change equipment, and to be given the tactical instructions of the coaches. The grounds personnel can also check the pitch and outfield to make sure that they are in good playing conditions. Broadcasters take this time to analyze matches, expert deliberations and advertisements. Even though the time duration is standard 45 minutes it can be altered slightly in case of rain interruptions or time limitation. Generally, this organized pause will guarantee that both the teams have equal time to prepare prior to the commencement of the second innings.
