While Test cricket is played for 5 days, One Day International matches are played for 50 overs each side on one day and Twenty/Twenty matches are played for 20 overs each side. It depends on the type of game, and the rules it is played under. Twenty-twenty games last about two hours.
On June 24, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut finally finished the longest match in tennis history. Their match lasted three days and over 11 hours. The first four sets looked like any typical tennis match, but the fifth set put this game in the record books. Isner finally beat Mahut 70-68. This match made me think about the longest games in sports history and where Isner vs. Mahut stands in the record books.
