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. 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. The earliest match  now recognised as an ODI was played between England and Australia on 5 January 1971; since then there have been over 4,000 ODIs played between 26 teams. 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. 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. The 400 marks were 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. Both teams have scored 400+ runs twice in the ODI format, with the first one being the Australia vs South Africa match in 2006 and the second occurrence being India vs Sri Lanka in 2009. As of February 2019, there have  been 20 occasions where a team has recorded a 400+ total. The most recent 400+ score was achieved by England, who scored 418/6 in 50 overs against the West Indies at the National Cricket Stadium, Grenada on 27 February 2019. The world record is held by England in their innings of 481/6 in 50 overs against Australia at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on 19 June 2018. Listing notation.
