Here are some interesting facts about the Cricket World Cup that you should know
the one who wins the most

Australia is the most successful team in the tournament’s history, having won the title five times, most recently in 2015. From 1999 to 2007, Australia had a historic treble of victories and won four of the previous six Cricket World Cups.
In 1987 they won their first title in India. Regardless of the format, Australia have always been a tough team to beat in ICC competitions. They also won the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates just two years ago. They were crowned ICC Test champions in June after defeating India in the final in London.

Although Australia usually dominates the competition, India seems to be the stronger team at the moment. Just a month ago, India won the Asian Cup in a one-sided final in Colombo, thrashing Sri Lanka.
They are also ranked first in the One-Day International (ODI) rankings. With the host nation having won the last three World Cup finals, India will aim to make it a fourth in a row in 2023. Their squad has the most ODI experience of any team, with 1,449 matches played.
The only two players in the tournament with more than 10,000 ODI runs, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, are also in the Indian camp. That experience could mean the difference between success and failure. India has only lost four matches in the last three World Cups.
the surprising
This time, New Zealand will be keen to end on a high note. They finished second in the last two World Cups, losing to England in the 2019 final on a boundary count after the match and super over were tied.
They have experience competing in big competitions. They won the ICC Test Championship against India in 2021 and finished second in the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
New Zealand enters the World Cup as champions of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League (2020-23), a 13-team qualification cycle for the World Cup in India.
First match without the West Indies
The West Indies, champions in 1975 and 1979, have failed to qualify for the event for the first time in their 48-year history. After failing to qualify for the Super League, they were given another chance in the Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe this year but failed to finish in the top two.
Ireland and Zimbabwe are two other testing countries that did not qualify for the World Cup.
A long break of seven years

For the first time since 2016, Pakistan travels to India. Their 15-player squad has never played an international match on Indian soil. Only two people have visited India before.
Mohammad Nawaz participated in the 2016 T20 World Cup but did not play, while Salman Ali Agha toured in 2014 with the Lahore Lions, a local Pakistani team that competed in the now-defunct T20 Champions League.
Your lack of experience can work against you. They are also the only team in the competition without a player with over ten years of experience in international cricket.
