Two of the fiercest arch-rivals in the world of cricket, England and Australia, faced each other on Sunday at Adelaide Oval for the second ODI of the three-match series. And there, history was made when England came to bat first.

It was Tom Banton who got things off the ground, and Joe Root provided support during the middle phase of the innings. Jordan Cox and Will Jacks kept attacking the opposition, and England finished with a huge total of 355/6.

Here, in this article, let us take a look at the 5 highest ODI totals by England in Australia till November 15, 2026.

5. 303/8 By England, Hobart, 2015

Coming to open, Ian Bell made 141 runs off 125 balls in the Carlton Mid One-Day International Tri-Series match in Hobart. His opening partner, Moeen Ali, also joined hands with a fiery 48-ball 46, while Joe Root later added a 70-ball 69.

Thanks to them, England reached 303/8 batting first, only to lose the match later.

4. 308/5 By England, Melbourne, 2018

Riding on Jason Roy’s 145-ball 180, which had 16 fours and five sixes at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), England chased down a challenging 305-run target against Australia when they met at the venue in 2018.

Jos Buttler finished things off after that, making 71 runs off just 43 balls to take them to a monumental total.

Unfortunately, England lost the match, as Australia chased down the target with four balls and two wickets to spare.
