Key Insights on Highest Run Aggregates in ODI Cricket

Record-Breaking Match Totals and World Cup Milestones

The 2006 Johannesburg ODI recorded the highest match aggregate in ODIs. Australia and South Africa scored 872 runs across both innings combined.

The 2023 Dharamsala ODI between Australia and New Zealand produced a 771-run aggregate, the highest in a World Cup match.

The 2009 Rajkot ODI between India and Sri Lanka is the only other instance of both teams scoring 400-plus runs each in a single match.

West Indies and the Netherlands scored 748 runs in 2023, the most in a tied ODI match.


Team Scoring Feats and Historic Run Chases

Australia’s 434 for 4 in the first innings is the highest team score in a losing cause as South Africa (438/9) made the highest successful run chase in ODIs.

England scored 498 of the 764 runs against the Netherlands in 2022, making it the highest total by a team in an ODI innings.

The 764-run aggregate in that 2022 match is the highest between a full member and an associate team in an ODI match.

Scotland’s innings involved a 191-run knock by George Munsey, the highest individual score by an associate batter in ODIs.

The Johannesburg contest saw both teams hit 87 fours, the most in an ODI match. Australia and South Africa smashed 113 boundaries (87 fours + 26 sixes) combined, again the most in a match.

India vs Sri Lanka in 2009 (80) and India vs England in 2017 (81) are the other two instances of both teams hitting 80 or more fours in an ODI match.

The 2019 St George’s ODI between the West Indies and England recorded 46 sixes, the most in a single ODI match.
