Highest Innings Total Batting Second – ODI Team Records

In the past several years, there have been a large number of One-Day Internationals (ODIs) with a significant number of runs scored as a result of the players’ increased batting prowess. Batsmen-friendly rules and narrow boundaries have moved the game more towards batsmen, which is why the greatest team score in one-day internationals has frequently surpassed 400. There have been numerous occasions in the history of One-Day Internationals in which a side has scored over 400 runs.

South Africa scored 438 runs against Australia in Johannesburg on March 12, 2006, which is the highest innings total for a second side in an ODI.

South Africa, 438–9 (49.5 overs)

On March 12, 2006, South Africa and Australia faced off in Johannesburg. After Australia won the toss, they chose to bat first. Early on, all four of their best hitters were successful. Team captain Ricky Ponting remained calm under pressure and scored 164 runs off 105 balls. Australia scored 434 runs with four outs remaining in 50 overs.

South Africa had no chance of winning this game. The second inning, on the other hand, was filled with a remarkable surprise. After noticing the mark, they rushed towards the business. South Africa persevered after losing their first wicket in the second over, and their second wicket partnership resulted in a score of 187. South Africa did the unthinkable by completing a successful run chase in the final over of the match thanks to the contributions of its middle order. They created history when they scored 438 runs in 49 and a half overs.

Sri Lanka 411–8 (50 overs)

The Sri Lankan team lost 8 wickets and 411 runs while attempting to reach their target, and the Indian team won the match by a score of 3 runs. On December 15, 2009, against the Sri Lankan side, the Indian team scored 414 for seven wickets, which was their second-highest total of all time.

A total of 414 runs were scored by the Indian squad despite the loss of seven wickets. In his 102-ball innings, Virendra Sehwag scored 146 runs off 17 fours, 6 sixes, and the rest. In the end, he got 146.

 South Africa 372–6 (49.2 overs)

On October 5, 2016, Durban had the second-largest chase during a match against Australia. After winning the toss, Australia took the field first. They scored 110 and 224, respectively, for the first two wickets, which was an excellent beginning. David Warner scored the most runs (117), followed by Aaron Finch (53) and Steve Smith (53). (108) The result was a staggering 371 for 6 in 50 overs for the Men in Yellow.

It appeared to the Proteas as though they were pursuing a ghost. The subsequent events, however, were genuinely amazing. As they pursued the target, South Africa had a number of strong middle-order alliances. At 265 for six after 37.4 overs, they were still in a difficult position. A subsequent unbeaten partnership of 107 runs off of 70 balls set the second-best run chase in ODI cricket. Miller was not out at 118* with 79 balls remaining, and Andile Phehlukwayo was not out at 42*. In 49.2 overs, they scored 372 runs for six, resulting in victory.
