The top four Associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and international cricket teams who are Full Members compete in One Day International (ODI) matches. Contrary to Test matches, one inning is played for each team in ODIs, with a cap of 50 overs each inning (although in the past, it has occasionally been 55 or 60 overs).
As a subset of list A cricket, ODI matches have their records and statistics, which are kept separately from List A records. 28 sides have played more than 4,000 ODIs since the first game designated as an ODI between England and Australia January 1971. The frequency of matches has progressively increased, partly because of the rise in the number of ODI-playing nations and somewhat because the cricket boards of those countries have been working since the Packer Revolution to maximize their earnings from the sport’s rising popularity.

Joe Root
Joe Root surpassed the century mark twice in the 2019 ICC World Cup, making him the first Englishman to have three centuries at a single World Cup. As the Three Lions completed the victory in 33.1 overs with Root still undefeated at 100, which came off 94 balls, he reached the boundary rope 11 times during his 16th ODI century. Interestingly, all three 300s went in the previous six World Cup innings.

A cricket competition called the 1980–81 Australia Tri-Nation Series, also referred to as the 1980–81 World Series, took place in Australia from 23 November 1980 to 3 February 1981. Australia hosted New Zealand and India for the second iteration of the Australian Tri-Series. The series was a stop on the tours in India and New Zealand. Australia and New Zealand qualified for the finals after games were played in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth throughout the group stage. Australia ultimately prevailed 3-1 in the third final after the underarm incident.
Carl Hooper
Former Guyanese cricketer Carl Llewelyn Hooper (born 15 December 1966) captained the West Indies in Test and One-Day International matches. He was a right-handed batsman and off-spin bowler who played for the West Indies throughout a 16-year international career. He rose to popularity in the late 1980s with a team that featured players like Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Malcolm Marshall, and Courtney Walsh.
Ricky Ponting
Australia’s strong performances during the 2003 World Cup are legendary. They eliminated opponents from advancing to the final in South Africa and then destroyed India to win their second straight World Cup. Captain Ricky Ponting, who finished 415 runs behind India’s Sourav Ganguly (465) and Sachin Tendulkar, was one of the leading performers for the Australian team (673). Ponting, who placed third on the list of top scorers, and Adam Gilchrist, who also had a strong campaign with the bat and amassed 408 runs from 11 matches, were crucial to Australia’s victory. Ponting scored two centuries while maintaining an average of 87.2.
