Death overs

In cricket, "death overs" refer to the final few overs of an innings, typically the last 5-10 overs, when the batting team aims to accelerate their scoring rate. Bowlers, known as bowlers in the "death overs," focus on delivering accurate, sometimes risky, deliveries to prevent the batting team from scoring heavily. These overs are crucial because they can significantly influence the outcome of the match; a strong finishing by the batting team can boost their total, while disciplined bowling can restrict runs and increase pressure on the batsmen.
