ODI World Cup 2023: The ICC mega event in the fifty overs format has started from 5th October 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium with a clash between England and New Zealand.
This event has been going on well and the batsmen have been more dominant in this year’s ODI World Cup 2023 so far.
Only one bowler has been successful in picking up a five-wicket haul in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. That bowler is from New Zealand and his name is Mitchell Santner.
This spin bowling all-rounder achieved this feat in their match against the Netherlands which the Kiwis won because of Santner’s performance with the ball and bat.
In this ODI World Cup 2023, Aiden Markram scored the fastest century in the ODI World Cup history and his team also amassed the highest total in the history of this one-day international tournament.
The Proteas scored 428 runs in their opening match which they won versus Sri Lanka in Delhi.
Pakistan too chased down a record score in this edition of the ODI World Cup 2023. The men in the green side didn’t bowl that well and they conceded 344 runs against Sri Lanka.
However, the batsmen of Pakistan stepped up in this game and chased down that score quite well in the end.
In just nine complete games of the ODI World Cup 2023, 11 batsmen have scored a hundred which shows their dominance over the bowlers in this ODI tournament which is played every four years.
Today we shall take a look at the list of all the 11 century makers of this year’s fifty-overs event.
New Zealand was the one who started the procession of scoring centuries in their opening game against England.
Two of their batters got to their three-figure mark when they chased down a modest score and won that game in a thumping fashion.
The Blackcaps won two in two opening games of this year’s event as well.
