The ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is proving to be one of the most high-scoring in the tournament’s history. The 2023 edition of the World Cup has seen the highest total in its history - South Africa’s 428 for five against Sri Lanka - and the highest run-chase - Pakistan chasing down Sri Lanka’s 344 for nine.
The tournament has also seen several sixes being hit, 460 to be precise, and the 2023 edition is just four sixes away from going past the tally of the 2015 edition - which saw 463 maximums being hit.
Leading the charge is South Africa, which has hit 82 sixes in the 2023 World Cup, the most by any team in the tournament. New Zealand is second on that list with 66 sixes.
