5 Highest team totals in ODIs

3) South Africa 439/2 vs West Indies at Johannesburg on 18^th January 2015

For the second time on this list, Johannesburg makes an entry and it is surprise, surprise, South Africa, who make it in for the third time. And this was the game that started their ridiculously impressive 2015 which they finished with four totals in excess of 400 in ODIs.

When West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first at the Wanderers, even they couldn’t have foreseen what was going to happen next. Hashim Amla and Rilee Rossouw came out to open the innings for South Africa and went on to both score centuries and put on 247 for the opening wicket.

But that wasn’t even the best part of the game as AB de Villiers walked in at No.3 with 69 balls to go and score the fastest fifty and fastest century in the history of ODIs and eventually finished his scarcely believable assault on 149 from a mere 44 balls and helped South Africa finish on 439/2, which still remains their highest score in the history of One Day Internationals and the first and only time that the top three have all scored a century in an ODI.
