Who Holds The Record For The Lowest Team Score In Men’s ODIs & World Cups?

The men’s ODI World Cup has seen some of the format’s highest-scoring games, but there have also been days when batting lineups just did not turn up.

In men’s ODIs, there were nine instances where a team failed to score 50 runs in an innings. The first one dates back to his 1979. In that year’s World Cup Canada suffered an all-out loss to England in her 45th innings.

However, the lowest score in history belongs to Zimbabwe, who scored just 35 points in an ODI against Sri Lanka in Harare in 2004. Not a single batter was able to reach double digits in extras (7 RBIs) and is the all-time leading scorer.
