<P> The limit of overs is currently 50 overs per innings, although in the past this has been 55 or 60 overs . ODI cricket is List - A cricket, so statistics and records set in ODI matches also count toward List - A records . The earliest match now recognised as an ODI was played between England and Australia in January 1971; since then there have been over 3,000 ODIs played by 26 teams . The frequency of matches has steadily increased, partly because of the increase in the number of ODI - playing countries, and partly as the cricket boards of those nations seek to maximise their revenue . </P> <P> Before breaking the 200 mark, the highest ODI score was 194 jointly held by Pakistani Saeed Anwar and Zimbabwean Charles Coventry . In One Day Internationals, the first man to score a double century was Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 200 not out against South Africa at (Captain Roop Singh Stadium) in (Gwalior, Madhya pradesh, India).
