Across 139 One-Day Internationals, Finch averages 38.72 with a strike rate of 86.61. His ODI returns are his best in terms of batting average among the formats he has played most regularly, making it the competition where he has historically contributed most consistently.
Outstanding record at The Oval. Average of 66.16
In 27 matches at The Oval, Finch averages 66.16 at a strike rate of 150.72, producing 1,257 runs. Those figures stand well clear of his returns at any other ground in the dataset and will be of particular interest to followers of his Surrey appearances.
