Only one cricket team never played a tie match in ODI

The cricket team that never played a tie match in ODIs

A One Day International (ODI) cricket match can have three possible outcomes - it can be won by either of the two teams, it can be tied, or the match can be declared "no result".
In cricket, such a match is said to be tied if it ends with both teams scoring the same number of runs and the team batting second has completed its innings, with all 10 batsmen dismissed or The predetermined number of overs is completed. In the case of rain-affected matches, the match is tied if the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method indicates that the other team meets at all but does not exceed an equal score.
There have been two occasions when a match has ended in a tie, with the team losing the least number of wickets being declared the winner. Pakistan was involved in both the matches, one lost against India and the other won against Australia.
The first tie in ODIs occurred in 1984 when Australia played West Indies in the second final of the Benson and Hedges World Series Cup; The Wisden Cricketers' Almanack said "the match caused more controversy than joy". The second tie, which also involved Australia, took place in 1989 during the second match of the Texaco Trophy in England. Between 1991 and 1997, at least one ODI was tied every year. Starting in 1999, up to 2014 there have been another 19 relationships, more frequent than ever. The first World Cup match that involved a tie was the second semi-final of the 1999 tournament when Australia played South Africa. Since then, at least one match has been tied in subsequent tournaments, with the exception of the 2015 edition, until the 2019 World Cup.

Only one cricket team has never played a tie match in ODIs.

As of 2021, there have been a total of forty one ties including four tiebreakers in ODIs. Every Test playing country except Bangladesh has been involved in a tie match; West Indies have been among the most (ten). Every Test playing country except Bangladesh is playing at least one tie; Australia, England and West Indies have had five ties each.

  • Tied One Day International matches do not progress to tiebreakers, with the exception being final or knockout matches in the tournament. As such, the use of any tiebreaker is rare.
  • The 2019 Cricket World Cup final was the first One Day International to go into a Super Over. The Super Over was also a tie, determined by the match boundary countback. Since England had hit more boundaries in both the main game and the Super Over, they were declared the winners of the match.
  • The second ODI match to be scheduled with Super Over was played between Zimbabwe and Pakistan on 2 November 2020. Pakistan scored only 3 runs, which Zimbabwe could achieve with 3 balls to spare.
