I was not aware of 8 overs format but I do know about 6 over format.

There is no official 8 over format of the game, actually. However, we used to set 8 overs when it comes to playing street cricket. We played tape ball cricket. There is, however, a 10 over format as well. A cricket tournament consisting of 10 overs was held in U.A.E a few years ago.
