The former Kiwi Captain made his World Cup debut in the 1996 edition. The team was captained by Lee Germon in that edition. Though New Zealand managed to reach the quarterfinals but that was it for them. The next edition in 1999 saw Fleming at the helm and New Zealand reaching the supr six stages. Same thing repeated in the 2003 edition in South Africa. But New Zealand managed to reach the semis in the 2007 World cup, but was defeated by Sri Lanka.

Fleming retired in 2008 form cricket. He was a wonderful captain who aimed for the best for his team and the team responded to it. But the World Cup victory remained elusive for him. His best World cup performance came in 2007 when he scored 353 runs at an average of 39. Fleming also holds the record for most fours in an innings in a World cup match (21).
