OVER RATE IN ONE DAY FORMAT :* In one day format or 50 over format the 50 overs has to be completed in 210 minutes.* Out of 210 minutes 10 minutes is dedicated to drinks break.* In an innings we will be having drinks break two times sharing 5 minutes each.* In an innings after every 70 minutes we will have a drinks break for two times sharing 5 minutes each.* The remaining 200 minutes is divided by 50 overs.* Then we get 200 minutes / 50 overs = 4 minutes /over.* => As per the rules generally every over has to be completed in four minutes.* => For every hour or for every 60 minutes as per the rules generally 15 overs has to be completed.* Over rate = 15 Overs per Hour.
OVER RATE IN 20-20 FORMAT :* As per the ICC rules in 20-20 format the 20 overs has to be completed in 75 minutes.* We know that for every 70 minutes we get a drinks break but since the 20 overs has to be completed in 75 minutes in 20-20 format as per the rules, we will not have any drinks break for just a matter of 5 minutes.* Un officially the players can have a drinks with out wasting any time.* But officially there will be no drinks break in 20-20 formats.
