# One Day International Cricket

> The first ODI between England and Australia established cricket's limited-overs format, now the sport's most popular variant globally.

## Summary

One Day International (ODI) cricket is played between international cricket teams who are full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) as well as the top four associate members. Unlike Test matches, ODIs consist of one innings per team, having a limit in the number of overs, currently 50 overs per innings – although in the past this has been 55 or 60 overs. ODI matches are a subset of List A cricket.
