Headingley Leeds ODI records: Headingley Carnegie ODI records and highest innings total

Headingley Leeds ODI records and highest innings total: Headingley will be hosting an ODI after more than three years.

England and South Africa will lock horns in a series-decider third ODI in Leeds tomorrow. Having hosted a Test match as recent as last month, Headingley will be hosting an ODI after more than three years.

England, who had played the last of their 33 Leeds ODIs during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, have won 21 and lost 11 matches here over the years. South Africa, on the other hand, have lost all their four ODIs at this venue. Set to play an ODI at Headingley after half-a-decade, the Proteas would look to make amends by beating England for the first time in the fourth attempt here.

Third-highest innings total at Headingley is also the highest successful ODI run-chase here. Chasing a 322-run target 16 years ago, former Sri Lankan batters in Upul Tharanga and Sanath Jayasuriya had scored individual centuries in a 286-run opening stand.

The only other 300 or 300+ ODI run-chase in Leeds belongs to hosts England, who had sealed a 300-run target in the penultimate over against Australia seven years ago.
