List of 400-plus innings scores in One Day International cricket matches

This is a list of scores of 400 or more runs made by a team in a One Day International (ODI), a form of one-day cricket played between international cricket teams who are Full Members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) as well as the top six Associate and Affiliate members.^[1] Unlike Test matches, ODIs consist of one innings per team, with a limit on the number of overs. The limit is currently 50 overs per innings, although in the past this has varied.^[2] The earliest match now recognised as an ODI was played between England and Australia on 5 January 1971;^[3] since then there have been over 3,000 ODIs played between 26 teams.^[4]

Team totals have risen steadily throughout the history of ODIs. This has accelerated in recent years, with improvements in techniques, new playing methods and introduction of Twenty20 International cricket.^[5] The highest team total before 400 runs was reached was the 398/5 scored by Sri Lanka against Kenya on 6 March 1996 at Asgiriya Stadium, Kandy.^[6]

The 400 mark was first broken during a notable match between South Africa and Australia, with both teams passing 400 runs in their respective innings. As batting powerplays and other fielding restrictions have come into play, 400+ totals have become more common. Six international teams have scored 400+ totals in their matches. South Africa have recorded more 400+ scores in ODIs than any other nation, with six such scores as of August 2018.

As of August 2018, there have been 19 occasions where a team has recorded a 400+ total. The most recent 400+ score was achieved by England, who recorded a world record^[7] innings of 481/6 in 50 overs against Australia at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on 19 June 2018.
