A [[One Day International]], or an ODI, is an international [[cricket]] match between two representative teams, each having ODI status, as determined by the [[International Cricket Council]].<ref>{{cite journal|title=ICC Classification of Official Cricket|url=https://pulse-static-files.s3.amazonaws.com/ICC/document/2017/09/24/4510678a-e031-4a9b-a402-397d4868adb6/ICC-Classification-of-Official-Cricket-Effective-1st-October-2017.pdf|page=[https://pulse-static-files.s3.amazonaws.com/ICC/document/2017/09/24/4510678a-e031-4a9b-a402-397d4868adb6/ICC-Classification-of-Official-Cricket-Effective-1st-October-2017.pdf#page=2 2]|format=pdf|website=[[International Cricket Council]]|date=1 October 2017|access-date=17 October 2017}}</ref> An ODI differs from [[Test cricket|Test matches]] in that the number of [[over (cricket)|overs]] per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings.

Designed as a fund-raiser for the [[African Cricket Association]] and the [[Asian Cricket Council]],<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/aac2007/content/story/296197.html | title=A brief history ... | website=[[Cricinfo]] | date=2007-05-28 | access-date=2007-06-06}}</ref> the [[Afro-Asia Cup]] debuted in 2005 and a second series was played in [[2007 Afro-Asia Cup|2007]]. The list is arranged in the order in which each player won his [[Cap (sport)|first ODI cap]] for the African XI. Where more than one player won his first ODI cap in the same match, those players are listed alphabetically by surname. All the players have represented their respective member teams of the ICC at either Test or ODI level, but only the records of their games for the ACA African XI are listed.

The rules of ODIs have changed since the first Afro-Asia Cup. During the tournament, the ICC experimented with a rule called [[Glossary of cricket terms#supersub|supersub]] – where the [[Glossary of cricket terms#twelfth man|twelfth man]] would be allowed to take to the field in the place of one of the players and would be allowed to bat and/or bowl in his place, gaining a full cap in the process. As a result, this meant there were generally 12 capped players per match instead of the regular 11 – even though a player may have not participated in either batting or bowling in a match. For example, [[Monde Zondeki]] bowled for Africa XI during the second match, but was substituted for [[Steve Tikolo]] during the innings break and Tikolo went on to bat in his place instead;<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/83/83313.html | title=African XI v Asian Cricket Council XI in 2005/06, 2nd ODI scorecard | website=CricketArchive | access-date=2007-06-09}}</ref> both players are listed as receiving a cap for this match. These rules were not in place for the 2007 Afro-Asia Cup.

Of the six matches to have been played to date, the ACA African XI has only won one match: the inaugural match at [[Centurion, South Africa|Centurion]].<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/83/83301.html | title=African XI v Asian Cricket Council XI in 2005/06, 1st ODI scorecard | website=CricketArchive | access-date=2007-06-06}}</ref> However, they went on to lose the next ODI, and the final match of the 2005 competition was called off due to rain, leading to the trophy was shared.

In the 2007 competition, the African XI suffered a 3–0 [[whitewash (sport)|whitewash]], losing the first two matches by 34 and 31 runs respectively. Despite half-centuries from [[AB de Villiers]], [[Justin Kemp]] and Shaun Pollock in the final ODI they went on to lose by 13 runs.

Shaun Pollock was the first player to score a century in the competition,<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/aac2007/engine/records/batting/most_runs_innings.html?id=78;type=trophy | title=Records – Afro-Asia Cup – High scores | website=Cricinfo | access-date=2007-06-06 }}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> during the first ODI of the 2007 competition, which led to him being named Man of the Match. He also has the most runs to his name between both African XI and Asian XI players.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/aac2007/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=78;type=trophy | title=Records – Afro-Asia Cup – Most runs | website=Cricinfo | access-date=2007-06-06 }}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

[[Morné Morkel]] has the highest number of wickets for the African XI with 8, all captured during the 2007 series, and the second most wickets in the Afro-Asia Cup's history.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/aac2007/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=78;type=trophy | title=Records – Afro-Asia Cup – Most wickets | publisher=Cricinfo | access-date=2007-06-19 }}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Statistics are correct as of June 10, following the conclusion of the 2007 series.
