Top 10 teams that have lost most ODIs

Top 10 teams that have lost most ODIs: One Day International cricket has given us some exhilarating moments as well as some heart-shattering ones over the years. Defeats in crucial games are always tough to swallow. But many teams have over the years overcome this barrier and have come back stronger, right after a defeat. Since winning and losing is a part of the game, it is always preferable to accept being second gracefully. After all, there is only one winner in a game of cricket. Here’s a look at the Top 10 teams that have lost most ODIs: 10. South Africa – (194 losses): South Africa.
