noun /ˌwʌn deɪ ˈkrɪkɪt/
/ˌwʌn deɪ ˈkrɪkɪt/
[uncountable]- a version of cricket in which each team bats once, within a limited period, so that the match finishes in one dayCultureThe term one-day cricket (also called limited overs cricket) was introduced in the 1960s when one-day matches were started in professional cricket, to try and make it a more exciting game for television audiences. Before that time, professional cricket matches always took place over several days—as many still do. see also cricket
