England has made history in the third ODI against South Africa at Southampton, securing a 342-run victory - the biggest margin in men's One-Day International (ODI) history.
The match, which was a dead-rubber with England already conceding a 0-2 lead in the series, saw England amass an impressive 414-5 in their innings. Joe Root contributed a impressive 100 runs in just 96 balls, while Jacob Bethell scored an equally impressive 110 runs in 82 balls. Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse were the pick of the bowlers, taking 4 wickets each for 18 and 33 runs respectively.
On the other hand, South Africa struggled with the bat, being bowled out for a paltry 72 runs. This is the lowest total ever recorded by a team in a men's ODI, making England's victory even more significant.
The top 10 biggest margins of victory in men's ODIs, including the games played by Australia, India, New Zealand, and South Africa, are listed in the table provided. Notably, the 1979 World Cup game at Old Trafford, where England bowled out Canada for 45 and chased the target in 13.5 overs, is not included in the table.
It's worth mentioning that England's women's team still holds the ODI record for the highest margin of victory, with their 342-run win over South Africa in Wellington, New Zealand, on March 7, 2018. However, there have been four bigger wins in women's ODIs, the largest being New Zealand's 408-run win over Pakistan at Christchurch in 1997.
