Cricket formats: T20, ODI, Test

Cricket has three main formats. T20: 20 overs (120 balls) per side, about 3 hours — what Major League Cricket and The Hundred-style leagues play. ODI (One Day International): 50 overs per side, a full day. Test: up to 5 days, each team bats twice (two innings each); the match can end with no winner (a draw). Shorter formats always produce a winner or a tie.
