List of Bangladesh One Day International cricket records

Unlike Test matches, ODIs consist of one inning per team, having a limit in the number of overs, currently 50 overs per innings – although in the past this has been 55 or 60 overs. ODI cricket is List-A cricket, so statistics and records set in ODI matches also count toward List-A records. The earliest match recognised as an ODI was played between England and Australia in January 1971; since when there have been over 4,000 ODIs played by 28 teams.
This is a list of Bangladeshi Cricket team's One Day International records. It is based on the List of One Day International cricket records, but concentrates solely on records dealing with the Bangladeshi cricket team. Bangladesh played its first ever ODI in 1986.
