The team captains for the cup.

The following is a list of all the major statistics and records for the 2007 Cricket World Cup
held in the West Indies from 13 March to 28 April 2007. Though India were eliminated early,
they set the ODI record for the highest victory margin in their 257 run win over Bermuda.[1] In
their match against Netherlands, Herschelle Gibbs (South Africa) created ODI and International
cricket record when he hit sixes off all six deliveries in Daan van Bunge's over.[2] In the Super 8
stage games, Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka) created ODI record when he took four wickets in four
consecutive deliveries in a losing effort against South Africa.[3] By the end of the tournament,
new World Cup records for the fastest fifty (20 balls - Brendon McCullum of New Zealand)[4]
and fastest hundred (66 balls - Matthew Hayden of Australia)[5] were established. Glenn McGrath
established a new Cricket World Cup record for the most number of wickets (26) and also
finished his ODI career with the most number of wickets in World Cup history (71).[6] The
number of sixes in the overall tournament (373) was 40% higher than the previous record holder,
the 2003 Cricket World Cup (266).[7] The tournament also saw 32 century partnerships (previous
record of 28 during the 1996 Cricket World Cup)[8] and 10 batsmen over 400 runs (previous
record of 4 during the 2003 Cricket World Cup).[9]

 History of World Cup Cricket

  The first Cricket World Cup was held in 1975 in England. The first three tournaments were also known as
Prudential Cup with the sponsorship of Prudential plc, a financial services company. The cricket matches
consisted of 60 overs per team and it was played with traditional white uniform and red balls. There were
only day matches and the tournament is held ever four years.

Till the 1992 Cricket World Cup, only 8 teams used to participate in the tournament. Later on, the number of
teams increased and in Cricket World Cup 2007, 16 teams will participate. In 1975, England, New Zealand,
India, East Africa, Australia, West Indies, Pakistan and Sri Lanka participated and in 1979 Canada replaced
East Africa. In 1983, Zimbabwe entered the arena and Canada made the exit. The same teams participated
in the 1987 Cricket World Cup. In 1992, South Africa joined the group and that year 9 teams participated in
the tournament. By the year1996, the number of groups increased to 12 with the participation of three new
teams UAE, Netherlands and Kenya. Bangladesh and Scotland replaced UAE and Netherlands in the 1999
Cricket World Cup. The number of teams in 2003 Cricket World Cup increased to 14 with the participation of
Namibia and Canada and the non-participation of Scotland.

England consecutively hosted the first three tournaments and 1987 tournament became the first World Cup
to be hosted outside England. Cricket World Cup 1987 introduced neutral umpires.

Many positive changes happened in the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Colored clothing with names printed on the
back and floodlights for most of the 36 games was introduced. It was also the beginning of the use of white
balls, a change from the usual red balls. The fielding circle rules were refined allowing only two men outside
the circle in the first 15 overs. The 1996 Cricket World Cup saw the first appearance of third umpire in front
of the TV monitor.

There are some outstanding matches that added spirit to the tournament. Kenya’s victory against West
Indies in a match held at Pune in the 1996 Cricket World Cup in which Kenya’s Maurice Odumbe and
Rajab Ali took three wickets and crushed West Indies for 93. The match between Zimbabwe and Australia  
in the 1983 Cricket World Cup and the Indian captain Kapil Dev’s exceptional performance by hitting an
undefeated 175 out of 266 for 8 during the same tournament was amazing. He hit 16 fours and six sixes to
reach his score. The brilliant bowling performance of England’s Geoff Boycott, in the team’s match against
Australia and Pakistan is also unforgettable.

All the 9 cricket world cup tournaments played have also contributed many records in the Cricket World Cup
History. The records are on best batting strike rate, highest individual scores, highest run-scorers, best
bowling analysis, best bowling economy rate, best bowling strike rate, highest wicket-takers, highest team
totals, lowest team totals, most cricket catches and most dismissals.

Highest individual scores in one-day international cricket:

1. 200 not out - Sachin Tendulkar, India vs. South Africa, Gwalior, Feb 2010
2. 194 not out - Charles Coventry, Zimbabwe vs. Bangladesh, Bulawayo, Aug 2009
