ODI cricket is set to witness one of its biggest events with the Champions Trophy 2025 beginning from February 19 (Wednesday) in the National Stadium in Karachi. However, just a day before the mega tournament begins , USA, who are not even part of the 8-team tournament has broken a massive ODI world record that was held by India for the past 40 years. In their ICC ODI World Cup League 2 match against Oman, USA created history as they defeated their opposition by 57 runs at Al Ameerat and became the first team ever to achieve a massive feat.

USA were bundled out for 122 in the first innings of the match. In the second innings, they bowled Oman out for just 65 runs. They thus became the first team in history to defend a total of less than 125 in an ODI match. The previous lowest total defended by a side in the 50-over format was by India back in 1985. The Men in Blue had defended 125 against Pakistan in the Rothman's Four-Nation Cup. They won the match by 38 runs.

In the second innings, USA did not use a single over of pace in the second innings, where 25.3 overs were bowled before Oman were bundled out for 65. This is the first time in ODI cricket history that a team has not used a single over of pace in a completed innings. Noshthush Kenjige was the pick of the USA bowlers as he finished with figures of 5/11.

In the match 19 out of the 20 wickets were taken by spinners. This equals the record of most wickets in an ODI match by spinners. In a Bangladesh Vs Pakistan match in 2011, 19 out of the 20 wickets were taken by spinners.

USA and Oman scored just 187 runs in the 61 overs of play. This is now the second-lowest aggregate in ODIs when both teams were all out.
