What is ODI cricket?
ODI means One Day International. Both teams bat once and each side gets 50 overs, so strategy is planned across powerplay, middle-over, and death-over phases.
Why is ODI a useful format?
ODI cricket is shorter than Test cricket but longer than T20, making it a balanced format for beginners to understand.
