In cricket sport betting, the market “Total Runs in the Highest Scoring Over in the Match” refers to:
Definition:
A bet on the number of runs scored in the single over that produces the most runs in the entire match (including both teams).
How It Works:
- An “over” consists of 6 legal deliveries.
- You’re betting on how many runs will be scored in the most productive over of the entire match.
- This can come from any over in either team’s innings.
Example:
Suppose the match has the following top overs:
- Team 1: 18th over = 20 runs
- Team 2: 16th over = 24 runs
- Highest scoring over = 24 runs
- If you bet “Over 22.5” and the highest over is 24 runs → You win.
- If you bet “Under 22.5” → You lose.
Common Betting Lines:
- Over/Under 16.5, 18.5, 20.5, 22.5, 24.5, etc.
Tips to Consider:
- T20 matches are more likely to have overs with 20+ runs.
- Look at:
- Power hitters (e.g., Russell, Maxwell)
- Short boundaries
- Flat pitch
- Weak bowling attack (especially death overs)
