List of Highest Runs in ODI By Team & By Player

The highest runs in ODI by a team belong to England, who smashed 498 runs on June 17, 2022, against the Netherlands at Amstelveen.

ODI cricket was played for the first time in the 1970s, thanks to Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer. This eventually led to the format becoming mainstream.

As the years progressed, ODI cricket became merciless for bowlers, and the average scores crossed 300 on a regular basis. In fact, it was also T20 cricket, which is now played more often, that added to the ruthless attitude of the batters in ODI cricket.
