Highest Score in ODI

Highest Score in ODI Teams is the definitive benchmark of a team's collective batting depth, aggressive intent, and their ability to push the scoring limits of the 50-over format. The world record is currently held by England.
In 2022, England etched their name in history by scoring a monumental 498/4 against the Netherlands, falling just two runs short of the mythical 500-run mark. This feat eclipsed their own previous world record of 481 set in 2018. As of 2026, with the global adoption of the "ultra-aggressive" batting philosophy and more clinical exploitation of Powerplays, totals exceeding 400 have transitioned from rare anomalies into strategic targets for elite lineups. This statistic represents more than just a massive score; it signifies a paradigm shift in modern cricket, where teams prioritize sustained boundary-hitting to maintain a high run-rate from the first ball to the last.
