Asia Cup Final IND vs SL: Sri Lanka’s Entry into the List of Top 10 Lowest Scores in ODI History
Lowest Scores in ODI History: Asia Cup Final Witnesses Sri Lanka’s Entry into the List of Top 10 Lowest ODI Scores
In the annals of One-Day International (ODI) cricket, Sri Lanka’s recent bout of batting woes resulted in their second-lowest ODI score, a mere 50 runs, during the Asia Cup 2023 final against India. However, Zimbabwe holds the dubious distinction of the lowest-ever ODI total, a paltry 35 runs, achieved back in 2004 against Sri Lanka. These stark records paint a picture of the unpredictable and occasionally humbling nature of the sport.

Sri Lanka’s performance in the Asia Cup 2023 final led them to an unfortunate milestone in the annals of One-Day International (ODI) history. With a meager total of 50 runs, Sri Lanka found themselves among the top 10 lowest scores ever recorded in ODI cricket. Their struggle against India’s bowling attack during the final match in Colombo resulted in this dubious distinction, a stark reminder of the challenges and unpredictability that cricket can often bring to the forefront.
