Top 5 Cricket Teams With Most International Wins

Australia began 2019 with a comfortable 34-runs win over India in the one-day format. Australia had an awful 2018 where they could manage only 2 wins and lost as many as 13 in the 50-over format. Australia couldn't ask for a better start of a year as former world no. 1 team has taken a 1-0 lead in 3-match series.

With the help of this win, Australia became the first and only country to win 1000 matches in all three formats (Test, ODI, T20I). Despite their struggle in all three formats in recent times, Australia has won most matches in Tests and ODIs than any other team in the world. Apart from Australia, only three teams have been able to win more than 700 matches in the history of the cricket.
