List of tied One Day Internationals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There have been 23 tied One Day International cricket matches out of over 2,600 played since 1971. In cricket, a One Day International (ODI) is tied if the match ends with each team having scored exactly the same number of runs and with the side batting second having completed its innings with all 10 batsmen being out or the pre-determined number of overs having been completed. In a rain-affected match, the match is tied if the Duckworth-Lewis method indicates that the second team exactly meets but does not exceed the par score. There are also two further matches where the scores ended level, but one side was declared the winner, because it lost fewer wickets.
Tied matches were relatively rare in the first two decades of ODIs. ODIs had been played for 13 years before the first tie in 1984, in the 247th ODI. There was a gap of 5 years until the second tied ODI, in 1989, in the 567th ODI. However, since 1991, a further 21 tied ODIs have occurred in approximately 2,100 matches.
Every Test-playing nation has been involved in a tied ODI except Bangladesh, with Australia involved in the most (eight) including three ties with South Africa. There has been at least one tied ODI in every Test-playing nation except Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, with the most (four) in both Australia and South Africa.
On February 16, 2006, New Zealand and the West Indies tied a Twenty20 match in Auckland, sending the game in to a bowl-off. Another bowl-off was required at the 2007 Twenty20 World Championship in the group match between India and Pakistan which was tied.
