Cricket fans are enjoying top-notch cricketing action nowadays as the ODI World Cup 2023 isn’t compromising in delivering spectacular matches. After four games, the hosts India also played their maiden game in this competition against Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In their first match, Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first.&nbsp;

After losing the toss, India got an excellent start with the ball as their premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah dismissed dangerous Aussie opener Mitchell Marsh for a six-ball duck. This was the second time in Marsh’s World Cup career that he went back to the pavilion without scoring any runs. As an opener, it was the first time he gave away his wicket on a duck. Moreover, in the Indian innings, Ishan Kishan got out for a duck to become the first Indian opener to add an unwanted record to his name.

As it is expected by the teams to get a good start from their openers to put the opposition under the pump, not many times does it happen that either both or any of the opening batters get out without troubling the scorers at all. As a result, some notable players have got their names etched in the 'most Ducks' club in the ODI World Cup history. In the same vein, it’s time to know the openers who accumulated the most number of ducks in the history of the World Cup.&nbsp;

Here are the openers with the most ducks in World Cup history:

Fakhar Zaman has been serving Pakistan since 2017 and this time again, he is a part of Pakistan’s <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cwc-cricket-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ODI World Cup 2023</strong></a> team. During the 2019 World Cup, Pakistan concluded their journey in the round-robin stage with just five wins and three losses in nine games. Zaman failed to justify his role with the bat, scoring only 186 runs in eight matches at an average of 23.25.

Speaking of the competition, the southpaw got out on a duck twice. In the big match against Australia at the County Ground, Pakistan were chasing 308 and they needed a stable start from the openers, Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq. However, Zaman failed to hold his nerves, losing his wicket on a zero against Pat Cummins.

The Mardan-born player again failed to prove himself in the must-win game against Afghanistan in Headingley. Although Pakistan chased down 228 in the last over of the match and won the game by three wickets, Zaman's jitters were cut short as he fell on another duck.

Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal has amassed three ducks in his ODI World Cup career. In the 2011 World Cup, he got dismissed twice on a nought. For the first time, he got out on a zero against the West Indies in Mirpur. The game is known for Bangladesh’s infamous nine-wicket loss against the Caribbeans.

Tamim also failed in that contest, throwing his wicket on the third delivery of the game. After the match against the Windies team, Tamim again failed to open his account against the Netherlands in Chattogram. This time, he fell on the fourth delivery of the match while chasing 161 for his side.

In the 2015 World Cup, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-previews/odi-world-cup-2023-match-7-bangladesh-vs-england-match-preview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bangladesh</strong></a> and Sri Lanka locked horns at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and the latter gave a target of 333 to the former. While chasing the massive target, Tamim surrendered on a zero in front of Laith Malinga on the second ball of the innings.&nbsp;

Former Ireland captain William Porterfield showed up in three editions of the World Cup from 2007 to 2015 and during this period, he also piled up three ducks. In his debut World Cup game in 2007 against Zimbabwe in Kingston, he walked back to the pavilion on zero after facing six balls. The contest resided in the minds of cricket enthusiasts as it ended in a stalemate after a lot of struggle between both sides.

The Irish opener again had a disappointing outing against the hosts West Indies in Kingston. The left-handed batter gave his wicket to Daren Powell on a zero. In the 2011 World Cup, Porterfield captained Ireland, and under his leadership, the Irish team chased down a target of 328 against England in Bengaluru.

The match is remembered for Kevin O’Brien’s heroic knock of 113 off 63. In the same game, skipper Porterfield had fallen under pressure, giving away his wicket to James Anderson on the first delivery of the innings. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Kris Srikkanth was a member of India’s victorious 1983 World Cup side. He played eight matches and contributed 156 runs to the team in the title triumph. In the group round, he failed to be among the runs. In the 20th match of the competition in Tunbridge Wells, India beat Zimbabwe by 31 runs.

In this match, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/odi-world-cup-2023-india-vs-australia-5th-match-who-said-what/" title="India" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>India</strong></a> were under pressure as they lost five batters at a score of 17. Srikkanth and his opening partner Sunil Gavaskar lost their wickets on nil. Skipper Kapil Dev tackled the crisis exceptionally and notched up 175 off 138 in the game and guided the team to victory. &nbsp;

Srikkanth looked completely out of colour in the 1992 World Cup. The veteran accumulated only 117 runs in eight games at a sub-par average of 16.71. Against quality sides Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, he failed to score a single run. His underwhelming performance in the competition made him the Indian batter with the most number of ducks in the World Cup.&nbsp;

Nathan Astle was one of the finest openers to play the game of cricket. The star right-handed batter played for New Zealand for 12 years from 1995 to 2007. In One-Day Internationals (ODIs), he is the fourth leading run-getter with 7090 runs with 16 tons and 41 fifties in 217 innings of 223 matches.

However, his record is ordinary in the World Cup. In 22 matches in the tournament, he has scored only 403 runs with two centuries and a fifty. He is also the batter who has the most ducks in the World Cup, along with Pakistan’s Ijaz Ahmed. In 1996, Astle made his World Cup debut with a century against England in Ahmedabad.

In the next game against the Netherlands, he got dismissed on a duck, and from there he failed to score in double-digit again in the competition. Astle appeared for the last time in the World Cup in 2003 and this time, he accumulated three ducks in the competition.
