Highest and Lowest team scores in all cricket World Cups.

Filed under Cricket Records

One of the best things with Cricket World Cups' is that we get to see our cricket teams against diverse kind of oppositions... but sometimes it gets really boring when your team is scheduled to play one of the minnows like Kenya or Zimbabwe.

2007 Cricket World Cup has a total of 16 teams participating, and matches against teams like Bermuda, Netherlands, Scotland, Ireland and Canada are not supposed to be watchable - unless an upset occurs or someone makes the first every double century in One day Internationals.

Another possibility is making one of the highest score in Cricket World Cups, which currently belongs to Sri Lanka. They made 398 in just 50 overs at Kandy in 1996 WC. Following is the list of highest totals made by teams in all World Cups.

The second list is the lowest Innings totals in the same.
