Explained in plain English

What's an ODI?

One Day Internationals (ODIs) are a form of cricket where each team bats once, for a maximum of 50 overs. The team scoring the most runs wins. This format is a popular middle ground between the shorter T20 games and the multi-day Test matches, offering a balance of excitement and strategic depth, as seen in Sri Lanka's recent victory.
