The ICC Men’s ODI World Cup, since its inception in 1975, has seen some of the most memorable matches being played. While the tournament has seen a team become champion by the barest of margins, there have also been several instances of sides being completely outclassed by their opponents.
England’s loss to South Africa by 229 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday in the 2023 edition of the ICC World Cup is the latest entrant in this list. It is now the seventh biggest loss in the history of the Cricket World Cup.
