Women's One Day International

{{about|the format for women's international cricket|the men's format|One Day International}}

Women's One Day International (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 would have been between New Zealand and Jamaica on 20 June 1973, but was abandoned without a ball being bowled, due to rain.{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/women-s-world-cup-1973-61179/jamaica-women-vs-new-zealand-women-1st-match-293114/full-scorecard |title=ABANDONED 1st Match, London, June 20, 1973, Women's World Cup |work=ESPNCricinfo |access-date=29 January 2024}} Therefore, the first women's ODIs to take place were three matches played three days later.{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/women-s-world-cup-1973-61179/match-schedule-fixtures-and-results |title=Women's World Cup 1973 - Schedule & Results |work=ESPNCricinfo |access-date=25 March 2024}}

The 1,000th women's ODI took place between South Africa and New Zealand on 13 October 2016.{{cite news |title=South Africa and New Zealand to feature in 1000th women's ODI |url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2016/news/96485/south-africa-and-new-zealand-to-feature-in-1000th-womens-odi |work=ICC |date=12 October 2016 |access-date=12 October 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013081440/http://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2016/news/96485/south-africa-and-new-zealand-to-feature-in-1000th-womens-odi |archive-date=13 October 2016 }}

Women's ODI status is determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and was restricted to full members of the ICC. In May 2022, the ICC awarded ODI status to five more teams.{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2596324 |title=Two new teams in next edition of ICC Women's Championship |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=25 May 2022}}

Involved nations

In 2006 the ICC announced that only the top-10 ranked sides would have Test and ODI status. During the 2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier Netherlands lost its ODI status by virtue of not finishing in the top 6 placings. As the top 4 teams with ODI status were not required to take part in this qualifying tournament, the top 6 in this tournament constituted the top 10 overall placings. Bangladesh replaced the Netherlands as one of the ten countries which currently have ODI status.{{cite web |title=Bangladesh secure ODI status with wins |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-women-s-world-cup-qualifier-bangladesh-secure-odi-status-with-wins-541918 |website=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=5 April 2024 |date=24 November 2011}}

In September 2018, ICC chief executive Dave Richardson announced that all matches at ICC World Cup Qualifiers would be awarded ODI status.{{cite news|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/846145|title=ICC awards Asia Cup ODI status|publisher=International Cricket Council|date=9 September 2018|accessdate=24 November 2021}} However, in November 2021, the ICC reversed this decision and determined that all fixtures in the Women's World Cup Qualifier featuring a team without ODI status would be recorded as a List A match.{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/women-world-cup-qualifier-2021-bangladesh-trounce-usa-pakistan-survive-thailand-banana-peel-1290748 |title=Bangladesh trounce USA; Pakistan survive Thailand banana peel |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=23 November 2021}} This followed an announcement retrospectively applying first-class and List A status to women's cricket.{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/2355517 |title=ICC Board appoints Afghanistan Working Group |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=17 November 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.womenscriczone.com/icc-appoints-working-group-to-review-afghanistan-cricket |title=ICC appoints Working Group to review status of Afghanistan cricket; women's First Class, List A classification to align with men's game |work=Women's CricZone |access-date=17 November 2021}}

In April 2021, the ICC awarded permanent Test and ODI status to all full member women's teams.{{cite news|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/2081342|title=The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board and Committee meetings have concluded following a series of virtual conference calls|publisher=ICC|date=1 April 2021|access-date=1 April 2021}} Afghanistan and Zimbabwe gained ODI status for the first time as a result of this decision.

The teams with WODI status (with the date of each team's WODI debut) are:

{{crw|Australia}} (23 June 1973)
{{crw|England}} (23 June 1973)
{{crw|New Zealand}} (23 June 1973)
{{crw|India}} (1 January 1978)
{{crw|West Indies}} (6 June 1979)
{{crw|Pakistan}} (28 January 1997)
{{crw|South Africa}} (5 August 1997)
{{crw|Sri Lanka}} (25 November 1997)
{{crw|Ireland}} (5 October 2021)
{{crw|Zimbabwe}} (5 October 2021)
{{crw|Bangladesh}} (10 November 2021)
{{crw|Afghanistan}} (Yet to play)

=Temporary ODI status=

Previously, the ICC granted temporary ODI status to other teams (known as Associate members). In May 2022, the ICC awarded women's ODI status to the Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, Scotland, Thailand and the United States;{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-womens-championship-2022-25-no-india-vs-pakistan-series-bangladesh-and-ireland-added-to-line-up-1316616 |title=Bangladesh, Ireland added to 2022-25 Women's Championship; no India vs Pakistan series slotted |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=25 May 2022}} all of these nations other than Scotland had qualified for the abandoned 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier (although PNG withdrew from the qualifier due to COVID-19).

The following five teams currently have this status (the dates listed in brackets are of their first ODI match after gaining temporary ODI status):

{{crw|Netherlands}} (from 22 August 2022, until the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)
{{crw|Thailand}} (from 20 November 2022, until the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)
{{crw|Scotland}} (from 17 October 2023, until the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)
{{crw|Papua New Guinea}} (from 24 March 2024, until the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)
{{crw|United States}} (from 11 April 2024, until the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)

In 2024, the ICC announced the mechanism for ODI status for the five teams for the 2025-2029 cycle, saying "It will consist of a maximum of two AMs that qualify for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025 with the remaining slots determined by the ICC T20I team rankings at the time of the annual update." {{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/icc-board-meeting-outcomes-x7080 |title=ICC Board Meeting Outcomes |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=16 April 2025|date=21 October 2024}}

Additionally, four teams have previously held this temporary ODI status before either being promoted to Test Status or relegated after under-performing at the World Cup Qualifier:

{{crw|Netherlands}} (8 August 1984, until 24 November 2011)
{{crw|Ireland}} (28 June 1987, until 13 June 2018)
{{crw|Denmark}} (19 July 1989, until 21 July 1999)
{{crw|Bangladesh}} (26 November 2011, until 4 November 2019)

=Special ODI status=

The ICC can also grant special ODI status to all matches within certain high-profile tournaments, with the result being that the following countries have also participated in full ODIs, with some later gaining temporary or permanent ODI status also fitting into this category:

{{crw|Japan}} (2003 IWCC Trophy)

There are also four other teams which once had ODI status, but either no longer exist or no longer play international cricket. Three appeared only in the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup.

Rankings

Before October 2018, ICC did not maintain a separate Twenty20 ranking for the women's game, instead aggregating performance over all three forms of the game into one overall women's teams ranking.{{cite web|title=ICC Women's Team Rankings launched|url=http://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2015/media-releases/89919/icc-womens-team-rankings-launched|publisher=International Cricket Council|access-date=12 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161225090128/http://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2015/media-releases/89919/icc-womens-team-rankings-launched|archive-date=25 December 2016|url-status=dead}} In January 2018, ICC granted international status to all matches between associate nations and announced plan to launch separate T20I rankings for women.{{cite web |url=http://static.icc-cricket.yahoo.net/ugc/documents/DOC_1F113528040177329F4B40FE47C77AE2_1254317933255_933.pdf |title=Women's Twenty20 Playing Conditions |publisher=International Cricket Council |access-date=9 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724140151/http://static.icc-cricket.yahoo.net/ugc/documents/DOC_1F113528040177329F4B40FE47C77AE2_1254317933255_933.pdf |archive-date=24 July 2011 |url-status=dead}} In October 2018 the T20I rankings were launched with separate ODI rankings for Full Members.{{Cite news|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/877811|title=ICC Launches Global Women's T20I Team Rankings|date=12 October 2018|access-date=13 October 2018}}
