Johannesburg: With the advent of T20 cricket, there has been a big change in batting methods in cricket. Cricket observers also believe that in the case of crossing 200 runs in just 20 overs, the score will reach 500 and 600 in 300 balls in the future. South Africa have made India’s record of scoring more than 400 runs in ODIs a myth. In the last match of the ODI series against Australia, they scored 416 runs. This is the seventh time South Africa have scored over 400.
India, who have the best batting line-up in the world, have reached above 400 six times. South Africa has also posted the second highest score in ODIs after hitting 436 runs against Australia. Apart from Australia, South Africa have also scored over 400 against Sri Lanka and twice against India, England and neighboring Zimbabwe. In the last match, Klaasen scored 174 off 85 balls to send South Africa past 400. They won the match by 164 runs.
India, a cricket-crazy nation, has a very strong ODI team that has shown consistent performances with the bat. Bermuda, West Indies, South Africa, Sri Lanka (twice) and Bangladesh have been victims of Indian batting in six matches where they have scored 400 or more runs in an innings. England is the team that has scored more than 400 five times. England’s 400 runs were against New Zealand, West Indies, Australia, Pakistan and Netherlands teams. The highest score in ODIs is 498 against Netherlands in 2022.
Australia and Sri Lanka, the most number of world champions, have crossed the 400 mark twice each. Australia crossed 400 for the first time against South Africa. Mathew Hayden, Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting led the batting team in 2006 when they crossed 400 against South Africa. Years later, she also crossed 400 in the 2015 World Cup against Afghanistan in Perth. The Sri Lankan line-up that included Jayasuriya and Sangakkara first crossed 400 in 2006 against the Netherlands. The second was in the match against India in Rajkot. This one also lost.
New Zealand and Zimbabwe have managed to score above 400 each time. New Zealand scored over 400 against Ireland in July 2008 and Zimbabwe, who have a legacy in cricket but are still regarded as babies, came against the United States in a World Cup qualifier. Meanwhile, batting powerhouses Pakistan, West Indies and Bangladesh are yet to reach this feat.
