List of One Day International cricket records

One Day International (ODI) cricket is played between international cricket teams who are full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) as well as the top four associate members. Unlike Test matches, ODIs consist of one innings per team, having a limit in the number of overs, currently 50 overs per innings – although in the past this has been 55 or 60 overs. ODI matches are a subset of List A cricket.

The earliest match recognised as an ODI was played between England and Australia in January 1971; since when there have been more than 4,700 ODIs played by 29 teams. The frequency of matches has steadily increased, partly because of the increase in the number of ODI-playing countries, and partly as the cricket boards of those nations seek to maximise their revenue with the increased popularity of cricket, a process that dates from the time of the Packer Revolution. In February 2022, in their home series against the West Indies, India played their 1,000th ODI match, becoming the first team to play one thousand matches in this format.

The trend of countries to increase the number of ODI matches they play means that the aggregate lists are dominated by modern players, though this trend is reversing as teams play more Twenty20 Internationals. Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has scored the most runs in ODIs with a total of 18,426. Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is the highest ODI wicket-taker with a total of 534 wickets. The record for most dismissals by a wicket-keeper is held by Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka while the record for most catches by a fielder is held by Sri Lankan Mahela Jayawardene.

In general the top five are listed in each category (except when there is a tie for the last place among the five, in which case all the tied record holders are noted).

As of November 2024, teams batting second have won by a margin of ten wickets on 68 occasions.

The narrowest margin of victory by teams batting first is one run, which has been achieved in 35 ODIs. Australia have won by this margin on six occasions, which is the most for any team.
