How often have the Top 7 scored in excess of 300 in ODIs

New Zealand v Australia - 3rd ODI

#3 South Africa - 79 times

Australia v South Africa: Game 1

South Africa scored a total in excess of 300 for the first time against New Zealand at Centurion on 11th Dec 1994, when they posted 314 and have breached the mark 78 times more since.

Having posted scores in excess of 400 six times (most by any cricket playing nation), they are one of the most destructive sides going around. A swashbuckling 175 from Herschelle Gibbs helped his side achieve their highest ODI total (438) against Australia at Johannesburg on 12th Mar 2006.

Their most recent 400+ score came against India at Wankhede on 25th Oct 2015, when Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers smashed hundreds and helped their side to a mammoth total of 438.

All their 400+ totals have come in the past 12 years, which makes their effort even more appreciable.
