ODI Series: Latest Scores, Highlights and Expert Takeaways
If you follow cricket, the ODI calendar is always buzzing. From record‑breaking centuries to nail‑biting finishes, each series brings something new. This page gathers the freshest headlines, scorecards and insights so you don’t have to hunt across the web.
Recent ODI Highlights
One of the most talked‑about moments this season was Cameron Green’s 47‑ball hundred against South Africa in Mackay. The 118* helped Australia post a massive total and set a new benchmark for fast scoring in ODIs. Green’s blitz showed how aggressive batting can change a game in just a few overs.
Another eye‑catcher was the Pakistan vs Afghanistan clash in Sharjah. Salman Ali Agha steadied Pakistan’s innings with a calm 50, while Haris Rauf grabbed four wickets. Afghanistan’s middle‑order collapse – five wickets for just four runs in 17 balls – turned a promising chase into a 39‑run loss. The match reminded fans how quickly momentum can shift in ODIs.
India’s young guns also made headlines. In the Champions Trophy, Pakistan’s home tournament ended abruptly after a series of dropped catches, especially by Salman Ali Agha, highlighted the importance of fielding. Meanwhile, Australia’s record‑breaking opening stand of 250 runs against South Africa emphasized how partnerships can dominate an innings.
Women’s cricket isn’t left behind. Ireland Women crushed the Netherlands in the Europe Division 1 qualifier, chasing 110 with six balls to spare. Arlene Kelly’s three wickets set the tone, and Gaby Lewis’s 56 anchored the chase. Performances like these are boosting the profile of women’s ODI cricket worldwide.
What’s Coming Up in ODIs
Looking ahead, the WCL 2025 will pit India Champions against South Africa Champions in Nepal. With Yuvraj Singh leading India and AB de Villiers captaining South Africa, fans can expect a high‑scoring showdown. The match is scheduled for July 23, and the venue in Kirtipur promises a lively atmosphere.
Asia Cup 2025 is also on the radar. Sri Lanka’s 17‑man squad for the Zimbabwe T20s hints at a larger strategy for the upcoming Asia Cup, where ODIs will complement the T20 format. Keep an eye on players like Wanindu Hasaranga, whose fitness will be crucial for Sri Lanka’s chances.
On the domestic front, the IPL 2025 opener between KKR and RCB at Eden Gardens is under a rain threat, but the league’s schedule often affects ODI preparations. Players who perform well in the IPL usually carry that form into the ODI arena, so early-season IPL results can be a good indicator of upcoming ODI performances.
Finally, the global cricket community is watching the impact of recent US tariffs on Indian sports equipment exporters. While not directly about ODIs, changes in trade policies can affect sponsorships and broadcasting rights, influencing how ODI series are marketed and consumed.
