In cricket, home advantage is quite important. Unlike football, where the home advantage means the crowd backing you, in cricket, it extends further to even the pitch and playing conditions being rolled in your favor. Traditionally home teams have dominated Test arena while the ODIs are more of a level-playing field. Today, however, we shall look at some teams that have had great home-runs in 50 overs cricket. Teams with longest unbeaten streaks at home in ODIs.

After the early exit from the 2011 World Cup, England wanted to make amends in their ODI setup. They started 2011 against the co-hosts of the World Cup 2011, Sri Lanka, the same team that knocked them out of the World Cup. After being 2-1 down in the series, a spirited performance from their pace quartet of Broad, Dernbach, Anderson and Bresnan started England’s unbeaten home streak. During this period, England whitewashed the then World Champions India, West Indies and the mighty Australians. Their streak was eventually broken by South Africa on 28th August 2012 on the back of a classic Hashim Amla 150.
