In a One Day International (ODI) cricket match, the innings break typically lasts for 45 minutes. This interval allows players to rest, eat, and strategize before the second innings begins

. However, this break duration can be shortened if there are delays or interruptions during the first innings to ensure the match finishes on time. For example:

• If up to 60 minutes are lost in the first innings, the break is reduced to 30 minutes.
• If up to 120 minutes are lost, the break is shortened to 20 minutes.
• If more than 120 minutes are lost, the break can be as short as 10 minutes, similar to Test match intervals

Typically, each innings in an ODI lasts about 3 hours and 20 minutes, with the innings break providing a substantial pause before the second innings starts
