We talked about the most number of balls faced and bowled by players in ODI cricket but the topic which we are about to talk now is not about the players but about the teams and this is one stat that all the teams want to have when they play ODI cricket and it means that the team has been undefeated for that many matches.
There have been teams that at one point or another have gone undefeated without a loss in ODI cricket for a long time and it has been absolutely incredible to see that match after match that particular team just keeps on winning and never lets any other team break its rhythms at all. So , let’s see the Top 5 Most Consecutive wins in ODI cricket history by a team.
1. Australia (21 Consecutive Wins):
This is the single biggest win streak in the history of men’s ODIs and it is without any surprise that it is the single most dominant team of Australia from 2003. This unbeaten streak started from 11th January 2003 when they beat England and after that no team was close to their level and in between this streak there was the 2003 World Cup as well where they did not lose a single match and won the 2003 World Cup with ease as no other yeaj was close to their level. They beat good teams at that time like England, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India,New Zealand, West Indies etc. That level of domination is rarely seen.
2. South Africa (20 Consecutive Wins):
Just one win short and at number 2 in this list with 20 wins in ODI cricket without a defeat is staggering and the fact that they did in 2005 when all the teams were so competitive says a lot about the level of team they were at that time. Their unbeaten streak started on 2nd February 2005 when they beat England and it went on till 16th November 2005 when they beat India for their 20th win but they fell just short of the world record set by Australia.
