With a flurry of matches and records in 2023, 2023 has proven all opinions wrong in an era where T20 cricket has revolutionized cricket and most experts say that the ODI format should be reduced to about 40 overs. In the format, numerous records were set and surpassed, including playing the most ODIs in a year, hitting the most hundreds, and hitting the most sixes.
Two major events took place in 2023 under the ODI format: the Asia Cup and the World Cup. India defeated Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup and ultimately came in second in the latter tournament, falling to the formidable Australians.
In this format, up to 218 games were played between about 22 teams, 211 of which were result-oriented games and seven of which ended in a tie.
