Today, we analyse centuries scored in the world cup viz a viz centuries scored overall in ODI cricket. This analysis throws up some interesting observations.
In the last 3 world cups (2011-2019) the propensity of batsmen to score hundreds has gone up substantially with a century being scored in virtually every 2nd match.
Also, Sri lanka ends up becoming the most unfortunate team to be on the receiving end of all centuries scored in the world cups.
Some teams love to score centuries when they are playing in a world cup and their Matches/Century figure goes up several notches.
All this and more can be derived from our analysis as above......
