ODI World Cup 2023: Top Records Broken in First Week
Some players and teams hit the headlines for shattering some old World Cup records and hitting new heights.
2. Most number of centuries in an ODI World Cup innings
South Africa are looking formidable in this World Cup as they won their first two games of the competition confidently. In their maiden 2023 World Cup contest in Delhi, they outplayed Sri Lanka by a massive margin of 102 runs. On Delhi’s batting track, the Protea batters came heavily on Sri Lanka bowlers.
Almost after eight years, South Africa got three centuries in an innings of an ODI match, with the scintillating tons of Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, and Aiden Markram against the 1996 World Cup champions. In the World Cup, the Proteas became the first side to deliver three hundreds in a one-day innings.
