A One Day International (ODI) is a 50 over cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). [1] An ODI differs from Test matches in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings. [2] As of November 2016, 50 players have represented the Kenyan national team in ODIs, since its debut in 1996. [3]

Kenya gained ODI status in its own right following a strong performance in the 1996 World Cup, a competition they qualified for by gaining a second-placed finish in the 1994 ICC Trophy. [4] The team's first ODI came against India in the 1996 World Cup, a competition for which Kenya was given temporary ODI status, [note 1] with the team then playing four further matches in the competition. [5] [6] Kenya's first ODI win came in their fourth World Cup match against the West Indies. [5] The Kenyans won the game by 73 runs but ultimately finished last in group A. [5] [7] Kenya have since qualified for four more Cricket World Cups. [4] They reached the group stage in the 1999 competition, the 2007 competition and the 2011 competition. [8] [9] At the 2003 Cricket World Cup, partly hosted in Kenya, the Kenyan team finished second in their group and in doing so qualified for the Super Sixes stage. [10] Kenya finished third in the Super Sixes stage and qualified for the semi-finals where they lost to India by 91 runs. [10] [11] The Kenyan team have played 154 ODI games with the most recent coming in 2014. [5] Thomas Odoyo and Steve Tikolo have played the most ODIs for Kenya with 131 each. [12] Tikolo has scored the most runs with 3369 for the team while Odoyo has taken the most wickets with 141. [13] [14]
