Momentary Misfortunes: Top 10 Lowest Scores in ODI Cricket
High scores, exciting chases, and explosive batting are all hallmarks of One Day International (ODI) cricket. Even in this run-heavy game, though, there are times when batting lineups mysteriously fall apart, producing surprisingly low totals. The dominance of the bowling side and the infrequent occurrence of an entire team being dismissed for a pitiful amount make these games unforgettable rather than the number of runs scored.
Great swing or seam bowling, a difficult pitch, a top-order collapse, or a combination of all three can result in a team's lowest ODI score, highlighting the unpredictability of cricket and serving as a stark reminder that even the best teams can have a bad day and set records they'd rather forget.
