All the Records of CWC 2023

Fastest ODI World Cup Century

Statistically, the record belongs to Glenn Maxwell for his century off from 40 balls against the Netherlands. However, Protea Aiden Markham held the record earlier in the tournament with his century against Sri Lanka in just 49 balls. In the same event, this record has been broken twice.

First Timed Out in International Cricket

Angelo Mathews’s “Timed Out” dismissal is the first ever to occur in the recorded history of international cricket. During the match between Bangladesh & Sri Lanka, Mathews failed to prepare to face the first delivery within a 2-minute window, resulting in a “Timed Out” dismissal after Shakib’s appeal. Mathews blamed it on helmet malfunction, but officials rejected the claim, citing his delay in facing the delivery before the incident.

Most Five-wicket hauls in a World Cup event

Mohammed Shami bagged the record for his fantastic bowling spells in the World Cup. The Indian pacer achieved a remarkable feat by securing five-wicket hauls a record-breaking five times in the tournament. In total, the pacer collected 24 wickets in the event.

Highest total in an ODI World Cup Innings

South Africa’s innings of 428 for 5 wickets stands as the highest score ever recorded in the history of the ODI World Cup. The Proteas won the match by 105 runs after limiting Sri Lanka to 326 runs within 44.5 Overs.

South Africa repeated history by dropping out of the semifinal, while Kane Williamson’s dream of lifting the trophy remained a dream.
