Interesting World Cup Trivia!

Abandoned Matches In World Cup

1975 to 2015WC - 2 Times
2019WC - 4 Times*

On this day, 36 years ago, Kapil Dev walked in at 17 for 5 and changed cricket history. That 175* against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells in the 1983 World Cup is what legends are made of! :muscle:

Sakib scored two consecutive hundreds in CWC2019. But, Who holds record for most consecutive hundreds in WC?

It’s Silky Sanga. Kumar sangakkara got four, come again… :astonished: four consucative centuries in 2015. Beginning with Bangladesh, followed by England, then Australia and finally Scotland in group stage.

Looks like to me. :innocent:

Only two men in 142 years history of international cricket have scored 5 centuries in one series/tournament. Rohit Sharma in WC 2019 and Sir Clyde Walcott in a Test series vs Aus in 1955. :crazy_face::crazy_face:
