A match of 20 overs, typically can take 90 minutes an innings, so around 3 hours. 50 Overs is usually a full day 7-8 hours.

In the real game (I don`t know the sim or how it works) of limited over cricket (20/20 or 50 overs) the key is to get a good start when the fielding restrictions are in force,keep the scoreboard ticking over in the mid overs and ,with wickets in hand,excellerate the scoring in the last few overs.

The key to this is making sure you "bat out" all your overs,don`t get bowled out with say 5 overs left.Thats 30 balls you haven`t had the chance to score off.

On the bowling side off things ,taking wickets is the best way to reduce the score,as new batsmen take time (balls) to familiarise themselves with the pitch,ball and conditions,a player who is in is more likely to get the big hits to boost your final score.

Hope that helps a bit.
