Women's One Day International cricket

Women's One Day International cricket (ODI) is the limited overs form of women's cricket. Matches are scheduled for 50 overs, equivalent to the men's game. The first women's ODIs were played in 1973, as part of the first Women's World Cup which was held in England. The first ODI saw the hosts beat an International XI.

In 2006, the ICC announced that only the top-10 ranked sides would have Test and ODI status. These are currently:

• Australia
• England
• India
• Ireland
• The Netherlands
• New Zealand
• Pakistan
• South Africa
• Sri Lanka
• West Indies

The following three teams have also played ODIs, but currently do not have ODI status, although they may qualify to regain that status in future.

• Denmark
• Japan
• Scotland

There are also four other teams which once had ODI status, but no longer play such games. Three appeared only in the 1973 Women's World Cup. The four former ODI teams are:

• International XI (1973-1981/82)
• Jamaica (1973 only)
• Trinidad & Tobago (1973 only)
• Young England (1973 only)
