The ICC Cricket World Cup is held once every four years, providing teams with the opportunity to showcase their skills and stamp their dominance in cricket. Keenly followed by millions of fans, the biggest tournament in the sport makes for a spectacular extravaganza on the field, in the stands and around the world.


While Australia has won the prestigious title on five occasions, West Indies and India have won the trophy twice. Pakistan and Sri Lanka have won once each while New Zealand, South Africa and host nation England continue to hunt their maiden title.
