Cricket World Cup 2023: Best Bowling Figures In Tournament History - In Pics

Tim Southee's superb 7/33 effort assailed England, who were eventually bowled out for just 123 runs. With the help of Brendon McCullum's fireworks, New Zealand was able to chase this mark down in just 12.2 overs.

 

During this World Cup encounter, Winston Davis became the first bowler to record seven wickets in an ODI, assisting the two-time world champion team West Indies in defeating Australia by an enormous margin of 101 runs.

Due to the unfortunate lack of ball-by-ball commentary during the 1975 World Cup, the list of wickets taken by Gary Gilmour in this match—who finished with a bowling average of 6/14 in his allotted 12 overs—is included below.

 

The best bowling numbers (7/15) in the history of the ODI World Cup belong to Glenn McGrath. In that match, he took seven of the first eight wickets and restricted the opposition to just 45 runs.

In the match that followed McGrath's achievement of the best bowling figures in a World Cup game, Andy Bichel finished with a bowling total of 7/20 for Australia.
