West Indies Top 5 Highest ODI Totals: First-Ever 400+ Score vs India!

West Indies scripted history by registering their first-ever 400+ total in One Day Internationals (ODIs). The recently concluded Guwahati ODI saw the Windies amass a mammoth 405/7 against India, becoming their highest innings total of all time. 

Known for their fearless approach and explosive batting in the ODI format, West Indies have assaulted the world’s best bowling attacks. 

Despite losing the game to India by 8 wickets, the Shai Hope-led side has set a new benchmark in Caribbean cricket. 

Let’s revisit the five highest ODI innings totals by West Indies recorded against all opponents, with their historic 400+ score against India ranking at the top.

West Indies exhibited their greatest batting performance, compiling 405/7 in 50 overs against India at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. Three Caribbean centurion batters dominated against India’s bowling line-up. 

Unfortunately, the Windies' historic achievement was overshadowed by a humiliating loss. Team India conveniently chased down the massive 400+ target in just 43.3 overs, riding on Shubman Gill’s double century and Rohit Sharma’s ton.
