One Day International (ODI) is a form of limited overs cricket, played between two teams with international status, in which each team faces a fixed number of overs, usually 50. The game is played under the rules of International Cricket Council (ICC).

History

The first ODI was played on 5 January 1971 between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The match was played because a Test match between the two teams was abandoned due to rain. The format gained popularity and has since become a staple of international cricket.

Format

In an ODI, each team bats for a maximum of 50 overs. The team that scores the most runs wins the match. If the match is interrupted by weather, the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method may be used to recalculate the target score.

Rules

ODIs are played according to the standard rules of cricket, with some modifications:

  • Each team is allowed a maximum of 11 players.
  • Each bowler can bowl a maximum of 10 overs.
  • Fielding restrictions apply during the first 10 overs (known as Powerplay).

Major Tournaments

The most prestigious ODI tournament is the Cricket World Cup, held every four years. Other notable ODI tournaments include the ICC Champions Trophy and various bilateral series between cricketing nations.

Records

ODIs have seen numerous records set over the years. Some notable records include:

Current Status

ODIs continue to be a popular format of cricket, although the rise of Twenty20 cricket has posed challenges to its popularity. The ICC continues to organize and promote ODI cricket through various tournaments and series.
