10 Highest ODI team totals of 2018

#5 366/6 Sri Lanka Vs. England at Colombo, October 23, 2018

Niroshan Dickwella

In the 5th ODI between England and Sri Lanka, the hosts won the toss and chose to bat first. Openers Dickwella and Samarawickrama laid the foundation for the innings with a beautiful 137-run partnership before Samarawickrama was dismissed for 54.

Dinesh Chandimal soon accompanied Dickwella at the crease and duo put on another century partnership. Dickwell was dismissed for 95 just falling short of his century. A cameo from Kusal Mendis who came in to bat at number 4 helped Sri Lanka post a total of 366/6 in their 50 overs.

England immediately felt the absence of their in-form opener, Jonny Bairstow. They found themselves struggling early in the innings at 28/4. England never managed to recover as they finished their innings at 132/9 in 26.1 overs (their target was revised to 352 due to D/L method).

Sri Lanka won the match by 219 runs (D/L method) and Niroshan Dickwella was named the man of the match due to his gutsy performance.
