In the opening game of the crucial three-match ODI series (part of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League) between the hosts Netherlands and England, the latest men’s cricket World Cup winners thrashed the home team with a record-breaking total.
In that recent Amstelveen ODI last Friday (17th June), the Netherlands chose to field first after winning the toss. England created a new world record with their first innings score of 498/4 in 50 overs, thanks to three centuries and one more fiery half-century.
In reply, the Netherlands were all out after scoring 266 runs in 49.4 overs as the visitors won that series opener by 232 runs.
Here we are discussing some of the key records and stats during the recent Netherlands vs England ODI match at Amstelveen.
ODI Captain with a joint-most golden duck
The English ODI captain scored a golden duck in this game, which was his fifth golden duck as an ODI captain. It is the joint-most golden duck by an ODI captain as Morgan equalled the record of five golden ducks by the former Australian captain Allan Border.
Most ODI ducks for England
It was also Eoin Morgan’s 14th ODI duck for the England cricket team. He is now holding the record for most ODI ducks for the England cricket team.
Three players scored centuries in an ODI innings
During England’s record-breaking first innings, three batters scored centuries (Phil Salt 122, Dawid Malan 125 and Jos Buttler 162*). It was the third time when three batters completed centuries in an ODI innings. South Africa previously recorded this twice, vs West Indies (at Johannesburg on 18th January 2015) and vs India (at Wankhede on 25th October 2015).
Second fastest ODI century for England
Jos Buttler completed his 10th ODI century in just 47 balls. It was the second-fastest ODI century by an England batter. Buttler is also holding the record of England’s fastest ODI century with 46 balls against Pakistan at Dubai (DSC) on 20th November 2015.
Second fastest ODI 150
Jos Buttler further completed his 150 runs in that ODI by 65 balls. It was the second-fastest ODI 150 as the former South African cricketer AB de Villiers completed his 150 runs in 64 balls against West Indies in Sydney on 27th February 2015.
Jos Buttler recorded the highest individual score as an England wicketkeeper-batter
Jos Buttler’s 162 not out was the fourth-highest individual score as an England batter but the highest individual score as an England wicketkeeper-batter. The previous record as their wicket-keeper batter was 150 by Jos Buttler against West Indies at St George's on 27th February 2019.
