The international one-day game is a late-twentieth-century development. The first ODI was played on 5 January 1971 between Australia and England at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]].<ref name="BatemanHill2011">{{cite book|author1=Anthony Bateman|author2=Jeffrey Hill|title=The Cambridge Companion to Cricket|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yd6J7waMBRsC&pg=PA101|date=17 March 2011|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-76129-1|pages=101}}</ref> When the first three days of the third [[Test cricket|Test]] were washed out officials decided to abandon the match and, instead, play a one-off one day game consisting of 40 eight-ball overs per side.

In the late 1970s, [[Kerry Packer]] established the rival [[World Series Cricket]] competition, and it introduced many of the features of One Day International cricket that are now commonplace, including coloured uniforms, matches played at night under floodlights with a white ball and dark sight screens, and, for television broadcasts, multiple camera angles, effects microphones to capture sounds from the players on the pitch, and on-screen graphics. The first of the matches with coloured uniforms was the WSC Australians in wattle gold versus WSC West Indians in coral pink, played at [[VFL Park]] in [[Melbourne]] on 17 January 1979. This led not only to Packer's [[Nine Network|Channel 9]] getting the TV rights to cricket in Australia but also led to players worldwide being paid to play, and becoming international professionals, no longer needing jobs outside cricket. Matches played with coloured kits and a white ball became more commonplace over time, and the use of white flannels and a red ball in ODIs ended in 2001.

The [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC), international cricket's governing body, maintains the ICC ODI Rankings for teams (see table on the right), batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders.

==Rules==
In the main the [[laws of cricket]] apply, but with each team batting for a fixed number of [[over (cricket)|over]]s. In the early days of ODI cricket the number of overs varied from 40 to 60 overs per side (or 35 to 40 eight-ball overs), but it has been uniformly fixed at 50 overs since the mid-1990s.

Simply stated, the game works as follows:<ref name=ODIRules>{{cite web|title=Standard One Day International match Playing Conditions|url=http://icc-live.s3.amazonaws.com/cms/media/about_docs/524ac4ae08b48-04%20Standard%20ODI_2013_19%2009%2013.pdf|publisher=International Cricket Council|access-date=6 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407083554/http://icc-live.s3.amazonaws.com/cms/media/about_docs/524ac4ae08b48-04%20Standard%20ODI_2013_19%2009%2013.pdf|archive-date=7 April 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>
[[File:India vs Pakistan @ Edgbaston (9393429152).jpg|thumb|A One Day International match between [[Cricket in India|India]] and [[Cricket in Pakistan|Pakistan]] in [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]]]]
*An ODI is contested by two teams of 11 players each.
*The Captain of the side winning the [[Coin flipping|toss]] chooses to either bat or [[bowling (cricket)|bowl]] (field) first.
*The team batting first sets the target score in a single [[innings]]. The innings lasts until the batting side is "all out" (i.e., 10 of the 11 batting players are "out") or all of the first side's allotted overs are completed.
*Each bowler is restricted to bowling a maximum of 10 overs (fewer in the case of rain-reduced matches and in any event generally no more than one fifth or 20% of the total overs per innings). Therefore, each team must comprise at least five competent bowlers (either dedicated bowlers or all-rounders).
*The team batting second tries to score more than the target score in order to win the match. Similarly, the side bowling second tries to bowl out the second team or make them exhaust their overs before they reach the target score in order to win.
*If the number of runs scored by both teams is equal when the second team [[wicket#Dismissing a batsman|loses all its wickets]] or exhausts all its overs, then the game is declared a ''tie'' (regardless of the number of wickets lost by either team).

Where a number of overs are lost, for example, due to inclement weather conditions, then the total number of overs may be reduced. In the early days of ODI cricket, the team with the better run rate won (see [[Average Run Rate method]]), but this favoured the second team.<ref name="Methods">{{cite web|url= http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/page/581925.html|title= The D/L method: answers to frequently asked questions|publisher= ESPN Cricinfo|date= September 2012|access-date= 16 January 2015|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150924141010/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/page/581925.html|archive-date= 24 September 2015|url-status= live|df= dmy-all}}</ref> For the [[1992 Cricket World Cup|1992 World Cup]], an alternative method was used of simply omitting the first team's worst overs (see [[Most Productive Overs method]]) but that favoured the first team.<ref name="Methods"/><ref>{{cite web |date=26 March 2011 |title=The World Cup rain-rule farce |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-world-cup-rain-rule-farce-508066 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150116215425/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/508066.html |archive-date=16 January 2015 |access-date=16 January 2015 |publisher=ESPN Cricinfo |df=dmy-all}}</ref> Since the late 1990s, the target or result has usually been determined by the [[Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method]] (DLS, formerly known as the Duckworth–Lewis method),<ref name="Methods"/> which is a method with statistical approach. It takes into consideration the fact that the wickets in hand plays a crucial role in pacing the [[run rate]] and that a team with more wickets in hand can play far more aggressively than the team with fewer wickets in hand. When insufficient overs are played (usually 20 overs) to apply the DLS, a match is declared no result. Important one-day matches particularly in the latter stages of major tournaments, may have two days set aside, such that a result can be achieved on the "reserve day" if the first day is washed out—either by playing a new game, or by resuming the match which was rain-interrupted.

Because the game uses a white ball instead of the red ball used in [[first-class cricket]], the ball can become discolored and hard to see as the innings progresses, so the ICC has used various rules to help keep the ball playable. Most recently, the ICC has made the use of two new balls (one from each end), the same strategy that was used in the 1992 and [[1996 Cricket World Cup|1996]] World Cups so that each ball is used for only 25 overs.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/45044/new-rules-to-take-effect-from-oct-1|title= New rules to take effect from Oct 1|publisher= [[Cricbuzz]]|date= 1 October 2011|access-date= 16 January 2015|archive-date= 17 January 2015|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150117200557/http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/45044/new-rules-to-take-effect-from-oct-1|url-status= live}}</ref> Previously, in October 2007, the ICC sanctioned that after the 34th over, the ball would be replaced with a cleaned previously used ball.<ref>{{cite news|url= http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1828/new-cricket-ball-change-rule-gets-thumbs-down-from-ponting|title= New cricket ball change rule gets thumbs down from Ponting|newspaper= Cricbuzz|date= 16 October 2007|access-date= 16 January 2015|archive-date= 17 January 2015|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150117200617/http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1828/new-cricket-ball-change-rule-gets-thumbs-down-from-ponting|url-status= live}}</ref> Before October 2007 (except 1992 and 1996 World Cups), only one ball would be used during an innings of an ODI and it was up to the umpire to decide whether to change the ball.<ref name=ODIRules />

At the start of an ODI innings, two balls can be used, one from each end. However, starting from June 2025, after the 34th over, the bowling team can pick one of the two balls to keep using until the innings ends. This change is designed to bring back reverse swing bowling and make the game fairer between batsmen and bowlers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Team |first=CricOpinion |date=2025-06-03 |title=ICC ODI Rules 2025: One Ball & New Concussion Policy |url=https://cricopinion.com/cricket-news/icc-odi-rule-changes-2025 |access-date=2025-06-03 |website=CricOpinion |language=en}}</ref>

===Fielding restrictions and powerplays===
{{Main|Powerplay (cricket)}}
[[File:Cricket field parts.svg|thumb|A limited number of fielders are allowed in the outfield during powerplays.]]
The bowling side is subjected to [[Fielding restrictions (cricket)|fielding restrictions]] during an ODI, in order to prevent teams from setting wholly defensive fields. Fielding restrictions dictate the maximum number of fielders allowed to be outside the thirty-yard circle.

Under current ODI rules, there are three levels of fielding restrictions:
* In the first 10 overs of an innings (the ''mandatory [[powerplay (cricket)|powerplay]]''), the fielding team may have at most two fielders outside the 30-yard circle.<ref>{{cite web|date=27 June 2015|title=ICC gets rid of batting power play, five fielders allowed outside circle in last 10 overs of ODIs|url=http://www.ibnlive.com/cricketnext/news/icc-gets-rid-of-batting-power-play-five-fielders-allowed-outside-circle-in-last-10-overs-of-odis-547787-78.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150629222813/http://www.ibnlive.com/cricketnext/news/icc-gets-rid-of-batting-power-play-five-fielders-allowed-outside-circle-in-last-10-overs-of-odis-547787-78.html|archive-date=29 June 2015|access-date=14 June 2017|publisher=Ibnlive.com}}</ref> This allows only attacking fields to be set during the powerplay.
* Between 11 and 40 overs four fielders will be allowed to field outside the 30-yard circle. Either an Attacking or Normal Field can be set in the second powerplay.<ref>{{cite web |author=Nagraj Gollapudi |title=Bowlers benefit from ODI rule changes &#124; Cricket |date=26 June 2015 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bowlers-benefit-from-odi-rule-changes-891619 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150628215255/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/891619.html |archive-date=28 June 2015 |access-date=14 June 2017 |publisher=ESPN Cricinfo}}</ref>
* In the final 10 overs five fielders will be allowed to field outside the 30-yard circle.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/73102/icc-do-away-with-batting-powerplay-in-odis |title=ICC do away with Batting Powerplay in ODIs |date=26 June 2015 |publisher=Cricbuzz.com |access-date=14 June 2017 |archive-date=20 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170620043248/http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/73102/icc-do-away-with-batting-powerplay-in-odis |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thenational.ae/sport/cricket/icc-remove-batting-powerplays-from-odis-to-maintain-a-balance-between-bat-and-ball |title=ICC remove batting powerplays from ODIs to 'maintain a balance between bat and ball' &#124; The National |publisher=Thenational.ae |date=27 June 2015 |access-date=14 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150630123909/http://www.thenational.ae/sport/cricket/icc-remove-batting-powerplays-from-odis-to-maintain-a-balance-between-bat-and-ball |archive-date=30 June 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> All three types of fields (attacking, defensive and normal fields) can be used in the third powerplay.
The three powerplays are referenced by P1, P2 and P3 respectively, usually displayed near the score in modern scorecards.

====History====
Fielding restrictions were first introduced in the Australian 1980–81 season.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.crictrivia.com/onedaycricket.html|title= One-Day Cricket|publisher= CricTrivia.com|date= December 2005|access-date= 16 January 2015|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150209202930/http://crictrivia.com/OneDayCricket.html|archive-date= 9 February 2015|url-status= live|df= dmy-all}}</ref> By 1992, only two fielders were allowed outside the circle in the first fifteen overs, then five fielders allowed outside the circle for the remaining overs.<ref name="1992newrules">{{cite web |title=Colourful cricket, and that rain rule |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/world-cup-1992-summary-and-factfile-475370 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140621211131/http://www.espncricinfo.com/wctimeline/content/story/475370.html |archive-date=21 June 2014 |access-date=6 April 2014 |publisher=ESPN Cric Info}}</ref> This was shortened to ten overs in 2005, and two five-over powerplays were introduced, with the bowling team and batting team having discretion over the timing for one-one each. In 2008, the batting team was given discretion for the timing of one of the two powerplays. In 2011, the teams were restricted to completing the discretionary powerplays between the 16th and 40th overs; previously, the powerplays could take place at any time between the 11th and 50th overs. Finally, in 2012, the bowling powerplay was abandoned, and the number of fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle during non-powerplay overs was reduced from five to four.<ref name=ODIRules />

===Trial regulations===
The trial regulations also introduced a substitution rule that allowed the introduction of a replacement player at any stage in the match and until he was called up to play he assumed the role of 12th man. Teams nominated their replacement player, called a ''Supersub'', before the toss. The Supersub could bat, bowl, field or keep wicket once a player was replaced; the replaced player took over the role of 12th man. Over the six months it was in operation, it became very clear that the Supersub was of far more benefit to the side that won the toss, unbalancing the game. Several international captains reached "gentleman's agreements" to discontinue this rule late in 2005. They continued to name Supersubs, as required but they did not field them by simply using them as a normal 12th man. On 15 February 2006, the ICC announced their intention to discontinue the Supersub rule on 21 March 2006. Two balls were trialed in ODI for two years but it was rejected.<ref>{{cite news| url= https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/4822814.stm| title= ICC agrees to drop super-sub rule| publisher= BBC Sport| date= 20 March 2006| access-date= 4 January 2015| archive-date= 23 April 2023| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230423223815/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/4822814.stm| url-status= live}}</ref>

==Teams with ODI status==
The [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) determines which teams have ODI status (meaning that any match played between two such teams under standard one-day rules is classified as an ODI).

===Permanent ODI status===
{{unreferenced section|date=January 2020}}
The twelve [[Test cricket|Test-playing]] nations (which are also the twelve full members of the ICC) have permanent ODI status. The nations are listed below with the date of each nation's ODI debut after gaining full ODI status shown in brackets (Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Ireland, and Afghanistan were ICC associate members at the times of their ODI debuts):
#{{cr|Australia}} ([[English cricket team in Australia in 1970–71#First One Day International - Melbourne|5 January 1971]])
#{{cr|England}} ([[English cricket team in Australia in 1970–71#First One Day International - Melbourne|5 January 1971]])

#{{cr|Ireland}} ([[Irish cricket team against Afghanistan in the UAE in 2017–18#1st ODI|5 December 2017]])

===Temporary ODI status===
Between 2005 and 2017, the ICC granted temporary ODI status to six other teams (known as [[List of International Cricket Council members#Associate Members with ODI status|Associate members]]). In 2017, this was changed to four teams, following the promotion of [[Afghanistan national cricket team|Afghanistan]] and [[Ireland cricket team|Ireland]] to Test status (and permanent ODI status). The ICC had previously decided to limit ODI status to 16 teams.<ref>[https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-rule-no-change-to-odi-status-for-world-cup-qualifiers-1132978 ICC rule no change to ODI status for World Cup Qualifiers] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180216093041/http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22107414/icc-rule-no-change-odi-status-world-cup-qualifiers|date=16 February 2018}}. ESPN Cricinfo. Retrieved on 16 February 2018.</ref> Teams earn this temporary status for a period of four years based on their performance in the [[ICC World Cup Qualifier]], which is the final event of the [[ICC World Cricket League]]. In 2019, the ICC increased the number of teams holding temporary ODI status to eight.
The following eight teams currently have this status (the dates listed in brackets are of their first ODI match after gaining temporary ODI status):
*{{cr|Scotland}} (from [[International cricket in 2006#Pakistan in Scotland|27 June 2006]], until the [[2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]])
*{{cr|United Arab Emirates}} (from [[2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier#Final|1 February 2014]], until the [[2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]])
*{{cr|Nepal}} (from [[Nepalese cricket team in the Netherlands in 2018|1 August 2018]], until the [[2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]])
*{{cr|Netherlands}} (from [[Nepalese cricket team in the Netherlands in 2018|1 August 2018]], until the [[2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]])

*{{cr|Oman}} (from [[2019 ICC World Cricket League Division Two#Playoffs|27 April 2019]], until the [[2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]])
*{{cr|United States}} (from [[2019 ICC World Cricket League Division Two#Playoffs|27 April 2019]], until the [[2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]])
*{{cr|Canada}} (from [[2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off|27 March 2023]], until the [[2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]])

Additionally, eight teams have previously held this temporary ODI status before either being promoted to Test Status or relegated after under-performing at the World Cup Qualifier:
*{{cr|Kenya}} (from [[President's Cup 1997–98|10 October 1997]], until [[2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier#Super Six|30 January 2014]])
*{{cr|Canada}} (from [[International cricket in 2006#Triangular Series (Bermuda, Canada, Zimbabwe)|16 May 2006]], until [[2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier#Playoffs|28 January 2014]])

*{{cr|Ireland}} (from [[English cricket team in Ireland in 2006|13 June 2006]], until [[2017 Ireland Tri-Nation Series#5th ODI|21 May 2017]])
*{{cr|Netherlands}} (from [[International cricket in 2006#Sri Lanka in the Netherlands|4 July 2006]], until [[2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier#Playoffs|28 January 2014]])
*{{cr|Afghanistan|2013}} (from [[2009 Cricket World Cup Qualifier|19 April 2009]], until [[Afghan cricket team in the West Indies in 2017#3rd ODI|14 June 2017]])

*{{cr|Papua New Guinea}} (from [[Hong Kong cricket team against Papua New Guinea in Australia in 2014–15|8 November 2014]], until [[2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off|5 April 2023]])

The ICC occasionally granted associate members permanent ODI status without granting them full membership and Test status. This was originally introduced to allow the best associate members to gain regular experience in internationals before making the step up to full membership. First Bangladesh and then Kenya received this status. Bangladesh have since made the step up to Test status and full membership; but as a result of disputes and poor performances, Kenya's ODI status was reduced to temporary in 2005, meaning that it had to perform well at World Cup Qualifiers to keep ODI status. Kenya lost ODI status after finishing in fifth place at the [[2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]] event.<ref>{{cite news |date=18 March 2005 |title=Kenya to lose ODI member status |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/kenya-to-lose-odi-member-status-146267 |url-status=live |access-date=18 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180418231654/http://www.espncricinfo.com/kenya/content/story/146267.html |archive-date=18 April 2018 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

===Special ODI status===
The ICC can also grant special ODI status to all matches within certain high-profile tournaments, with the result being that the following countries have also participated in full ODIs, with some later gaining temporary or permanent ODI status also fitting into this category:
