Highest Match Aggregate – ODI Team Record

Since its conception, the One-Day International format has seen the most development in international cricket than any other. Since the rules were changed to favour batters, the batting dynamic has greatly improved. This contributed to an uptick in the number of games with at least 300 and 400+ team totals. However, only three games in ODI history have seen a total of over 800 runs, and none of them have reached 900.

 In terms of total runs scored, these Few games stand out as the best in ODI cricket history.

South Africa vs. Australia, 872 runs (2006)

The ODI between South Africa and Australia in Johannesburg in 2006 has the highest aggregate total in ODI history, with 872 runs scored. That’s also the most perfect match in List A’s entire history. In the series-deciding game, Australia batted first and scored 434/4, a record for One-Day Internationals at the time. Their skipper, Ricky Ponting, hit 164 runs off 105 deliveries, including as many as 22 fours.

South Africa reached 279 for 2 in 30 overs, with captain Graeme Smith scoring 90 off 55 balls and Herschelle Gibbs making 175 off 111. Mark Boucher’s unbeaten fifty was the only thing that got the Proteas past the finish line with one delivery and one wicket to spare as they lost wickets at a steady clip. South Africa’s target score of 435 runs is still the greatest in the history of one-day internationals and the second highest in the history of international cricket overall.

India vs. Sri Lanka, 825 runs (2009)

The first one-day international of a five-match series between India and Sri Lanka in 2009 was won by India thanks to Virender Sehwag’s 146 not out of 102 balls. India had reached 308/1 at the end of the 35th over, and they seemed ready to make a big score. Tillakaratne Dilshan’s 160 from 124 balls put Sri Lanka in a good position after resuming their innings.

Thanks to Kumar Sangakkara’s blistering 90 off only 43 balls against the spinners, Sri Lanka only needed 72 runs in the final ten overs with six wickets still in hand. It took them four overs without a boundary after they lost a wicket and scored 40 runs in the next five overs. Sri Lanka only scored one run in the final over, falling short of their target by a margin of three. The game ended with a score of 825 and 15 wickets falling.

West Indies vs England, 807 runs (2019)

West Indies and England competed in Georgetown’s first match of the 2019 first quarter. After Buttler struck 150 off 77 balls with 25 fours, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler combined for 204 runs for the fourth wicket in 20.2 overs (103 off 88). They assisted England in scoring 418 runs for six wickets.

Chris Gayle’s 162 off 97 balls comprised 14 sixes and 11 fours. After reducing the required total to 125 runs, he was removed at 294/5 in the 35th over. West Indies were 30 runs away from victory with 17 balls remaining and four wickets in hand after Carlos Brathwaite scored 50 off 36 balls. They had four wickets in hand. When Adil Rashid’s 48th over bowled the West Indies out for 389 in five balls, England triumphed by 29 runs.

India vs. England, 747 runs (2017)

A great combination between MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh helped the team overcome early fears, resulting in India’s 381 runs in 50 overs. For the fourth wicket, each batter achieved a century and amassed 256 runs. The pair provided a solid foundation for the team by complementing each other throughout the game. Dhoni scored 134 runs, whereas Yuvraj scored 150.
