England Set New ODI World Record
Buttler, Malan, Salt Help England Reach 498-4
Netherlands Bowled Out for 266, England Win by 232 Runs
England made history on Thursday, breaking their own world record for the highest score in a One-Day International (ODI) by hammering 498-4 in just 50 overs against the Netherlands at Amstelveen.
Jos Buttler led the way for the English with a blistering 162 from 70 balls, including 14 fours and seven sixes. Dawid Malan (125), Phil Salt (122), and Liam Livingstone (66) also chipped in with centuries as England took full advantage of the Dutch ground's short boundaries.
The Netherlands, in reply, were bowled out for 266 in 49.4 overs. Scott Edwards (55) top-scored for the hosts, but the English bowlers, led by David Willey's 3-37, were too strong on the day.
England's victory sets a new benchmark for ODI cricket and further solidifies their status as one of the world's most dominant teams in the format.
Conclusion:
England's record-breaking performance is a testament to the depth and quality of their batting lineup. With the Cricket World Cup 2023 just around the corner, Buttler and his team will be brimming with confidence as they aim to lift the coveted trophy once again.
