T20 Cricket matches are much shorter and last for a little over 3 hours. Cricket, unlike other sports, is played in multiple formats. Thus, it is important for us to understand the duration in relation to the format of the game.
Test Cricket is the oldest and purest form of cricket. In test cricket, the play usually lasts for about 7 hours and 30 minutes each day and the matches are played over 5 days. Each day is split into three sessions of game with tea or lunch break between the sessions. The time breakdown of test matches on each day is as follows —. Currently, the Test cricket is played over 5 days with a minimum of 90 overs bowled in each day.
Every match consists of 4 innings with both teams batting twice. The match may end without all 4 innings if a team is unable to get the opposition all out, or the duration of the match ends, or due to the weather interruptions. Test Cricket is mostly played in the day time. The day-night Test Matches have been a recent addition and are mostly played as one-off matches.
These day-night test matches start around 2 PM and last till 10 PM in the night. The Timeless Test Matches were not bound by any time limit and the play continued till a team wins or the match was tied.

For example, daylight in South Africa may occur at slightly different times to daylight in England, and as a result the hours of play may have to be adjusted slightly.
When the innings of one team ends, the players are allowed a break of roughly 10 minutes to get back out on the field ready for the next innings to begin. The players usually use this time to exit the field, have a drink, freshen up, and change their clothes if they wish.
Sometimes the break between innings can be longer if one innings ends close to a scheduled break like lunch or tea. For example, if one team is bowled out five minutes before the scheduled lunch break, the umpires may choose to take the lunch break 5 minutes early. The changeover in innings will be incorporated into the lunch break, meaning that in this case it would be significantly longer than usual! Drinks breaks usually occur somewhere in the middle of each session, and last only around 5 minutes.
The aim of the batters is to hit the ball into a space away from the fielders and run from one end of the pitch to score as many runs as possible. If a ball is whacked into or bounced over the boundary rope the batter scores four runs for their team. The aim of the bowler and the fielding team is to take wickets.
There are a lot of ways a batter can get out! Two positions are set - the bowler and the wicketkeeper.
