Teams with most 350 plus scores in ODIs: ODI cricket in recent time has grown as the most followed format of the game until of course the T20s emerged to take over. Even though there has been lost of cricket played now the level of competition and application ODI i.e. One Day International cricket, demands is supreme. It delivers the excitement of limited overs and the strategic importance of test cricket in a single day. It fittingly challenges the abilities of batsmen, bowlers as well as the fielders. It has changed the nature of all the aspects of cricket. Before ODI’s started, batsmen would score runs at snail’s pace which was often very boring for the viewers. The limited overs format brought the aggression of scoring runs into cricket, and the end result of which was bashing of the bowlers and huge totals being scored and chased.

Zimbabwe achieved this feat against Kenya in the year 2009. And since then the team has been completely off color and it is rare now that hey even manage to post defendable targets. One of the lowest ranked team Zimbabwe needs real effort and some amazingly talented cricketers to lift them any high in near future. 8 – West Indies – 3 Times Chris Gayle’s 215 runs, the first ever double hundred in World Cup history and Marlon Samuels’ 133* lead the Windies to 372/2.

For a team with so much batting power and Chris Gayle at the top, it is surprising that they have not made a score of 400 or more in ODIs. The highest score West Indies has made is 372/2 against Zimbabwe in the on-going 2015 World Cup, with the help of 215 from Chris Gayle. Currently, they are trying to regain the lost glory of 1980s and seems like that will take a long time for them to do. Until then, the fans should enjoy the Caribbean fun at its finest. 7 – Sri Lanka – 7 Times Sri Lanka.

The Lankans have always had the right mix of youth and experience in their team. For almost two decades now they have had the services of explosive yet composed batsmen like Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Angelo Mathews and others. Apart from established batsmen the team also has the pinch hitters lower in their line-up. Sri Lanka also has the ones who explode at the end to boost the run rate and take the team total 20 or 30 runs ahead of what it looked like to be. 6 – Pakistan – 6 Times Pakistan have managed to hit as many runs six times 350+ score in 50 overs format.

The Asian giants are fierce competitors and their team consists of batsmen like Ahmed Shehzad, Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Hafeez, Younis Khan, Shahid Afridi, among others who are very well known for scoring big for Pak in ODIs. The team more often than not restricts its opponents to smaller totals all thanks to their bowlers but when they are challenged with big runs on the board they still have enough batting fire power to score the number of runs. 5 – England – 9 Times England.

They are not as good an ODI as much as they are in the longer format. English batsmen are capable of scoring brisk runs but they are outnumbered by the conventional ones. And that is one of the prime reasons for them being a below par ODI squad and having only 9, 350+ scores in ODI cricket. Their most recent score and the 9th one came against India in India. 4 – New Zealand – 12 Times New Zealand have scored 350+ scores 12 times in ODI cricket.

Over the last few years they have had batsmen who can blast apart the bowlers, the likes of Brendon McCullum, Martin Guptil, Corey Anderson, Kane Williamson can single handedly take the team total beyond oppositions reach and when these guys perform in packs NZ more often than not end up huge totals. 3 – Australia – 16 Times Australia have scored 350+ scores 14 times in ODI cricket.
