Top 10 Highest Scores by teams in ODI

1. England 444-3 vs. Pakistan at Trentbridge in 2016:

In the England v Pakistan 3rd ODI the English skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and decided to bat first. They got off to a flying start but Jason Roy got out in the 6th over with 33 on the board. When Hasan Ali had his man caught by Sarfaraz he wouldn’t have sensed what was coming their way.

What followed was Halestorm. The other England opener Alex Hales went absolutely berserk and thumped the Pakistani bowlers all around Trent Bridge. He got to his fifty, subsequently the hundred and almost looked unstoppable on his way to 171 from 122 balls with 22 boundaries and 4 sixes.

Joe Root and Jos Buttler both scored fifties. But Root was dismissed for 85 while Buttler was unbeaten on 90. He was supported well by skipper Morgan who was not out on 57 at the end of the innings from 27 balls. The exciting stroke play from the English batters saw them post 44 runs in their 50 overs for the loss of just 3 wickets. They scored their runs with a run rate of 8.88. This is now the highest score in ODI cricket as England went past Sri Lanka’s 443/9 vs Netherlands.
