Batting has evolved since the first World Cup in England in 1975. Wider blades, smaller boundaries and flatter pitches have ushered in an era of power-hitting where strike-rates in excess of 200 and targets above 400 have increasingly become a norm and not an aberration. In the lead up to the 2019 World Cup, we look at the most sixes and fours hit by teams in the past and present.
Most sixes in an innings by a team: 19 WI v Zim (Canberra) 24 Feb 2015

Most sixes in a match by both teams: 31 NZ (15) v WI (16) (Wellington WTS) 21 Mar 2015
Most fours in a match by both teams: 72 Aus (40) v SAf (32) (Basseterre) 24 Mar 2007
