==Structure== [[File:Members area and view of ground.jpg|right|thumb|290px|A one-day match at [[Bellerive Oval]]]] Each team bats only once, and each [[innings]] is limited to a set number of [[over (cricket)|over]]s, usually fifty in a [[One Day International]] and between forty and sixty in a List A. List A is a classification of the limited-overs (one-day) form of cricket, technically as the domestic level. Despite its name, important one-day matches, international and domestic, often have two days set aside, the second day being a "reserve" day to allow more chance of the game being completed if a result is not possible on the first day (for instance if play is prevented or interrupted by rain). === Tiebreaker === {{Main|Result (cricket)#Tiebreakers}} In some tied limited-overs games, a [[Super Over]] is played, wherein each team bats for a one-over innings with two [[Wicket (out)|wickets]] in hand. A tied Super Over may be followed by another Super Over.<ref>{{Cite news|title=What is Super Over?|work=Business Standard India|url=https://www.business-standard.com/about/what-is-super-over|access-date=2021-09-24}}</ref> ===Player restrictions=== ====Bowling restrictions==== In almost all competitive one-day games, a restriction is placed on the number of overs that may be bowled by any one bowler. This is to prevent a side playing two top-class bowlers with extremely good stamina who can bowl throughout their opponents' innings. The usual limitation is set so that a side must include at least five players who bowl i.e. each bowler can only bowl 20% of the overs. For example, the usual limit for twenty-over cricket is four overs per bowler, for forty-over cricket eight per bowler and for fifty-over cricket ten per bowler.<ref>{{Cite web|title=How Many Overs Can A Bowler Bowl In A Cricket Match?|url=https://cricketershub.com/overs-bowler-can-bowl/|access-date=2020-09-09|website=Cricketers Hub|language=en-GB}}</ref> There are exceptions: [[Pro Cricket]] in the United States restricted bowlers to five overs each, thus leaving a side requiring only four bowlers.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2004-08-15|title=Pro Cricket - Fast n' Furious Global Action >> ProCricket 100 rules|url=http://www.procricket.com/rules.asp|access-date=2020-09-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040815074603/http://www.procricket.com/rules.asp|archive-date=15 August 2004}}</ref> ====Fielding restrictions==== {{Main|Fielding restrictions (cricket)}} === White balls === {{main|Cricket ball}} Limited over cricket is usually played with white balls rather than the traditional red balls. This was introduced because the team batting second is likely to need to play under [[floodlight]]s and a white ball is easier to see under these conditions. The white balls are supposed to be otherwise identical to traditional balls, but according to [[BBC Sport]], some cricketers claim that the harder surface causes white balls to swing more.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/rules_and_equipment/4188060.stm "Does the white ball behave differently?"], ''BBC Sport: Cricket'', retrieved 1 October 2021.</ref>
