9 matches unbeaten, top of the points table. Team India’s winning streak in the ODI World Cup is not limited to this figure alone. Most of the individual records in this World Cup are held by Indian players when the group round matches are over.

India has another goal as big as winning the title – Wonder XI! Australia lifted the cup with 11 consecutive wins in 2003 and 2007 World Cups.

An opportunity awaits India to match this record. India will also participate in the Wonder XI if they win the semi and final and lift the cup.
∙ If you are the first, there is no cup!
None of the top seeded teams in the round robin league have yet made it to the semi-finals. This is a history that scares the Indian fans who are preparing for the knockout round.

New Zealand in 1992 and India in 2019 were the first to compete in the round robin league. Both teams lost in the semi-finals.
∙ Only Collie
