overs

Six-ball bowling sets

Overs is the plural of over, a unit in cricket consisting of six consecutive balls bowled from one end of the pitch.

After each over, bowling switches to the opposite end.

Limited-overs formats restrict the total: a fifty-over match, twenty overs per side.

The count of overs remaining shapes strategy throughout a match.
