The Cricket World Cup is the international championship of One Day International (ODI) cricket. The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), and is held once every four years.[1][2] ODI cricket is one of three forms of cricket played at international level.[3] Unlike Test cricket, ODIs consist of one innings per team and is played over the course of single day.[4] Australia and England played in the inaugural ODI match on 5 January 1971 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[5] The inaugural Cricket World Cup took place in England in 1975 and 12 tournaments have been held since. The first three editions were all held in England and each innings was limited to a maximum of 60 overs. Since the 1987 Cricket World Cup, all matches have consisted of 50 overs per innings.[6]
Top order batsman and former Australian captain Ricky Ponting holds several World Cup records. Playing in five tournaments between 1996 and 2011, he has played in more World Cup matches than any player with 46.[7] He also holds the record for the most consecutive matches played.[8] As a slip fielder, Ponting has also taken the most catches at the World Cup with 28.[9] Captaining his side from 2003 to 2011, Ponting holds the World Cup record for the most matches played as captain with 29.[10] India batsman Sachin Tendulkar has scored 2,278 runs making him the only player to score more than 2,000 runs at the World Cup.[11] He has also scored the most World Cup half-centuries with 15[12] and shares the record with Pakistan's Javed Miandad for the most number of World Cup tournaments played with 6.[13]
Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath holds the record for the most World Cup wickets taken with 71,[14] the record for the best figures taken in an World Cup with 7/15[15] and has the best bowling average at the Cricket World Cup with 18.19.Template:Efn[16] Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara is the record holder for the most number dismissals and stumpings taken as a wicket-keeper at the World Cup with 54 and 13, respectively.[17][18] The World Cup record for most catches as a wicket-keeper is held by Australian gloveman Adam Gilchrist with 45.[19] Gilchrist and New Zealand's Tom Latham holds the record for the most dismissals in a single tournament by a designated wicket-keeper with 21.[20]

Result records
An ODI match is won when one side has scored more runs than the total runs scored by the opposing side during their innings. If both sides have completed their allocated innings and the side that fielded last has the higher number of runs, it is known as a win by runs. This indicates the number of runs that they had scored more than the opposing side. If the side batting last wins the match, it is known as a win by wickets, indicating the number of wickets that were still to fall.[39]

Narrowest win margins (by runs)
Thirty-five ODI matches have been won by a margin of one run with two of them occurring at the Cricket World Cup.[47] Both of these matches resulted in Australia defeating India. The first took place in the opening match of Pool A of the 1987 World Cup. The match was played at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, the same venue where the same two teams played out second tied Test a year earlier. The victory to Australia came on the second last ball of the match where Steve Waugh bowled Maninder Singh.[48][49] The second match was four and a half years later at the 1992 World Cup where Australia was the hosting tournament. Played at the Gabba in Brisbane, this was the third match for both teams in group stage. The final ball of the rain-affected second innings saw Steve Waugh run out Venkatapathy Raju to secure the win for the hosts.[50][51][52]
Narrowest win margins (by 1 wicket)
Seventy ODI matches have been won by a margin of one wicket with seven of them occurring at the Cricket World Cup.[53] The most recent occurred in 2023 at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Pakistan were bowled all out for 270 inside of 47 overs. In reply, South Africa made 206/4 before losing 46/5. However, tailender Keshav Maharaj struck the winning runs for the Proteas off the bowling of Mohammad Nawaz with 16 balls remaining.[54][55][52]

Forty ODI matches have been won on the final ball of the match with one of them occurring at the Cricket World Cup.[56] The fifth match of Group B in the 1987 edition saw co-hosts Pakistan play the two-time champions the West Indies at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The West Indies posted a total of 216 in the first innings, getting bowled out in the final over. In reply, Pakistan required 14 runs from the final 6 balls with 1 wicket in hand. At the crease were Abdul Qadir and Saleem Jaffar. They each score a single, followed by a two, a six and a two scored by Qadir leaving two runs left for the win. On the final delivery of the match, the bowler Courtney Walsh saw Jaffar well out of his crease and could have dismissed him by run out but graciously decided to bowl the delivery again. Qadir scored winning runs and secured the victory.[57][52]

Tied matches
A tie can occur when the scores of both teams are equal at the conclusion of play, provided that the side batting last has completed their innings.[39] since January 2024[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., there have been 43 matches that have ended in a tie in ODI cricket history, with five occurring at the Cricket World Cup.[58] The first came in the second semi-final of 1999 World Cup at Edgbaston where South Africa's Allan Donald got run out on the third last ball of the match. Due to Australia finishing ahead of South Africa at the end of the Super Six stage with the superior net run rate, Australia advanced to the final.[59][60] There they defeated Pakistan by eight wickets.[61] The next three which took place in 2003, 2007 and 2011 respectively all occurred in the group stage with the teams sharing the points.[62][63][64] The most recent tied match came in the 2019 Cricket World Cup final where both England and New Zealand finished their innings on 241 runs. For the first time in ODI cricket history a Super Over was used as a tie-breaker. The teams were still unable to be split after the Super Oval as both teams scored 15 runs so a boundary countback was invoked. With England having scored more boundaries in both the main game and the Super Over, 26 to 17, they were declared the winner and the World Cup champions.[65][52]

Wicket-keeping records
The wicket-keeper is a specialist fielder who stands behind the stumps being guarded by the batsman on strike and is the only member of the fielding side allowed to wear gloves and leg pads.[112]
Most career dismissals
A wicket-keeper can be credited with the dismissal of a batsman in two ways, caught or stumped. A fair catch is taken when the ball is caught fully within the field of play without it bouncing after the ball has touched the striker's bat or glove holding the bat,[113][114] while a stumping occurs when the wicket-keeper puts down the wicket while the batsman is out of his ground and not attempting a run.[115]
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara has taken the most dismissals in ODI cricket as a designated wicket-keeper with 482. He narrowly sits ahead of the Australia gloveman Adam Gilchrist with 472 ODI career dismissals.[116][117] Sri Lanka's final group stage match against Scotland at the 2015 tournament at Bellerive Oval in Hobart saw Sangakkara surpass Gilchrist as the wicket-keeper with the most dismissals at the Cricket World Cup, 54 to 52.[118][119][17]

Caught is one of the nine methods a batsman can be dismissed in cricket.Template:Efn A fair catch is defined as a fielder catching the ball, from a legal delivery, fully within the field of play without it bouncing when the ball has touched the striker's bat or glove holding the bat.[113][114] The majority of catches are caught in the slips, located behind the batsman, next to the wicket-keeper, on the off side of the field. Most slip fielders are top order batsmen.[126][127]
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting holds the record for the most catches at the Cricket World Cup by a non-wicket-keeper with 28. He is followed England's Joe Root and India's Virat Kohli who, at the completion of the 2023 World Cup, had secured 25 and 20 catches respectively.[128][9]

Most consecutive matches
The most capped World Cup player, Australia's Ricky Ponting, also holds the record for the most consecutive matches played. Missing only the opening pool match against Sri Lanka at the 1996 World Cup due to the forfeit over security concerns in Colombo,[158] Ponting went on to play in all of Australia's next 46 matches. He is followed his compatriot Glenn McGrath with 39 straight matches from 1996 to 2007.[8] India's Sachin Tendulkar only missed one World Cup match in his career, the group stage match against Zimbabwe in 1999. His father died and he flew home to India for the funeral. He returned to England in time to play India's next match against Kenya.[159][160]

Youngest players
The youngest player to play in an ODI match is claimed to be Hasan Raza at the age of 14 years and 233 days. Making his debut for Pakistan against Zimbabwe on 30 October 1996, there is some doubt as to the validity of Raza's age at the time.[161][162] The youngest to appear at the Cricket World Cup was Nitish Kumar who, at the age of 16 years and 283 days, played in Canada's second group stage match at the 2011 tournament against Zimbabwe eclipsing the record that Bangladesh's Talha Jubair had set at the 2003 World Cup playing against the West Indies at 17 years and 70 days old.[163][164][165][166]

Partnership records
Script error: No such module "Multiple image". In cricket, two batsmen are always present at the crease batting together in a partnership. This partnership will continue until one of them is dismissed, retires or the innings comes to a close.
Highest partnerships by wicket
A wicket partnership describes the number of runs scored before each wicket falls. The first wicket partnership is between the opening batsmen and continues until the first wicket falls. The second wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the number three batsman. This partnership continues until the second wicket falls. The third wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the new batsman. This continues down to the tenth wicket partnership. When the tenth wicket has fallen, there is no batsman left to partner so the innings is closed.
Three ODI cricket partnership records have been set at the World Cup. West Indians Marlon Samuels and Chris Gayle for the second wicket,[69] the South African pairing of David Miller and JP Duminy for the fifth wicket[172] and most recently Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins set the eighth wicket ODI partnership record against Afghanistan at the 2023 tournament.[70][173] The oldest World Cup partnership records are for the ninth and tenth wicket where both were set at the 1983 tournament.[174]

Highest partnerships by runs
The highest ODI partnership by runs for any wicket is held by the West Indian pairing of Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels who put together a second wicket partnership of 372 runs during the 2015 Cricket World Cup against Zimbabwe.[69][175] This broke the previous highest partnership set at the World Cup where Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid came together to score 318 in India's defeat of Sri Lanka at the 1999 tournament. This was also an ODI record at the time of posting.[176] These are the only two partnership totals greater than 300 runs to be achieved at the World Cup.[177][178]
