400 barrier barely saved

Today, new Zealand scored 397 in 44 overs against Zimbabwe. Had this been played the full 50 overs, they would have scored 450 or more.

I have been worried the record may happen against Bangladesh. Too bad, Zimbabwe lucked out!

They had a chance. In last 2 balls they needed 4 runs. it went W and 1 run. Great effort by NZ. Taposh still holds the highest average run given in ODI match. Bowlers considered who have bowled over 7 overs in a match.

Probably in the next ODI, if Newzealand bats first probably they will think 400.

Probably within 1 to 2 years some team is going to cross 400 with the new rules substition and power play.
