Netherlands Bowler Bas de Leede Sets Unfortunate Record in World Cup Match Against Australia
In a recent ODI World Cup game between the Netherlands and Australia, Bas de Leede, a bowler for the Netherlands, conceded the most runs in an ODI innings. The match, held on October 25, 2023, saw de Leede give away a total of 115 runs as the Australian team posted an impressive score of 399 runs in just 50 overs.
This unfortunate record surpasses the previous one held Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa. Back in September, Zampa endured a bowling nightmare when he conceded a staggering 113 runs against South Africa in the fourth ODI at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.
The top three bowlers on the list of most runs conceded in an ODI innings are now de Leede, followed two Australian bowlers, Michael Lewis and Zampa. Another notable appearance on this list is India’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who gave away 106 runs against South Africa in a bilateral series back in 2015.
Here is a table showcasing the most expensive spells in ODI cricket:
