The correct answer is 4 overs.Key Points

  • The maximum limit of overs per bowler has been set at 4 overs to maintain the balance between the bat and ball and to ensure that the game remains exciting and unpredictable.
  • If a bowler exceeds his limit of 4 overs, then it is considered as an illegal delivery, and the batting team is awarded a run penalty.
  • In addition to T20 cricket matches, this rule also applies to other limited-overs cricket formats, such as ODI (One Day International) matches. 

Additional Information

  • ​Each team in a Twenty20 match gets one innings, which can only be as long as twenty overs.
  • An average Twenty20 match lasts roughly two and a half hours, with each innings lasting roughly seventy minutes.
  • The official interval between innings is ten minutes.
