If asked what is the maximum number of runs that can be scored in an ODI match, your answer will be 400 or maximum 500 runs. It seems beyond reality that a team scored 822 runs in 50 overs. These runs have been scored by only one team and this is the case of Domestic First League cricket played in Zimbabwe.
Scored 822 runs in ODI match
In Zimbabwe domestic cricket, Scorpion Cricket Club team scored 822 runs in 50 overs and only 4 wickets fell. He achieved this feat against the Methane Lions team. A batsman named Takunda Madembo scored 302 runs in 143 balls. Winfed Matende made the most headlines, who scored 203 runs in just 75 balls. Gabriel Jaya also played a century inning of 110 runs.
The bowlers of Methane Lions were so defeated that the batsmen of Scorpion Cricket Club hit 104 fours and 26 sixes. This team scored 572 runs only through boundaries. The batsmen wreaked havoc, but the luck of the Methane Lions was so bad that their bowlers bowled 109 extra days including 19 wides and 23 no balls.
Won the match by 794 runs

If this had been a professional List A match, it would have been remembered as a world record. Currently, the highest score made by any team in List A cricket is in the name of India’s Bihar team, which scored 574 runs against Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
