One Day International

A One Day International (ODI) is a format of limited-overs cricket where two teams compete in a single match, each facing a set number of overs, typically 50. The team batting first aims to score as many runs as possible in their allocated overs, while the opposing team attempts to chase down the score within their overs. ODIs are recognized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and are often part of larger tournaments, such as the Cricket World Cup. This format emphasizes both batting and bowling skills, providing an exciting balance of strategy and athleticism.
