Although, this rule has been revised(Jul 2025) with – 2 new balls to be used from the start of an innings until the end of 34th over, whereafter the bowling team has to choose one of the 2 balls(35-50 overs).

In the list, 6 scores come after the 2 new-ball rule, 1 after the rule revised while 3 before the rule.

Amongst the top 10 highest ODI score team records, 438 by South Africa( Vs AUS, 2006) is the only one scored in the 2nd innings of the match.

That means, South Africa is the highest ODI score team chasing the target. In the historic match, South Africa successfully chases down Australia’s 434 & gets 1 wicket victory.
