The batting dynamics have changed a lot in the last decade or so. And the limited-overs cricket is at the forefront of it, often experiencing high-scoring games.
So teams look to go past the par score to challenge the opposing side. With time, a score of 250 has become a de facto average total, and teams have surpassed that mark several times.
This article will list the teams that have posted the most 250+ scores in ODI cricket.
