Last overs
In cricket, a "last over" refers to the final six-ball segment of a team's innings. It’s crucial because the outcome of the match can hinge on these last deliveries, often determining the winner or loser. During the last over, the batting team aims to score the remaining runs needed, while the bowling team attempts to dismiss the batsmen or prevent additional runs, making it an intense, strategic part of the game. It's a tense, exciting phase where every ball counts significantly towards the final result.
