Bermuda Record Falls In Cricket World Cup

March 5, 2015

Bermuda’s record of giving up the most runs in a World Cup game has fallen, after Australia scored 417/6 in 50 overs against Afghanistan, overtaking the India score against Bermuda.

In the ICC Cricket World Cup, India scored 413/5 against Bermuda, earning the island the somewhat dubious honour of giving up the most runs in a World Cup cricket match.

BBC Test Match Special statistician Andrew Samson said, “Up until March 11th 2006 there were no ODI totals over 400 [2348 matches]. In 9 years [1275 matches] since then there have now been 15.”

Just last week West Indies came close to becoming the leaders of giving up the most runs in a World Cup match, but they held South Africa 5 runs short of the Bermuda mark.

    Another record that fell was the largest margin of defeat, which Bermuda had in that same match against India.

    So that’s two records that Bermuda is happy no longer to be part of. As far as getting back to that grand stage again, well that’s another (long and tiring) issue.

    With less teams, it will never happen again.
    Unfotunately.

      It’s still possible, after all South Africa made 411 against West Indies this very same tournament. Not just Associates that have been taking licks this tournament.
