Various over counts have been used over the years; 65, 60, 55, 40 and 20 overs. The over count controls how long the game will last. Cricket goes along at around 16-17 overs per hour, so 50 overs will last around 3 hours, meaning the game will last around 7 hours in total (with interval). This is a convenient 1 day's cricket.
