It might witness a single player piling up over 250 runs in just 50 overs or a whole side crashing down to a mere 35. Rohit Sharma holds the world record of highest individual total in ODI cricket for his 264, while Zimbabwe cricket team holds the record of lowest team total in history with a score of 35. Yes, you heard it right, on top of the lowest team totals in One Day International matches list is number 35 – a score put on by Zimbabwe against Sri Lanka on 25 April 2004.
