ICC ODI Cricket World Cup, held every four years, is the pinnacle of One Day International (ODI) cricket. Organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the tournament features a series of preliminary qualification rounds, culminating in an electrifying finals event.

The first-ever Cricket World Cup was held in 1975 in England. Since then, the tournament has been held every four years, except for 1999, when it was held every two years due to the 2000 Summer Olympics.

From the fierce West Indian dominance in the late 1970s and 1980s to the emergence of new cricketing powerhouses like Australia and India, the ODI World Cup finals have witnessed exceptional displays of skill, nerve, and team spirit.

Legendary names such as Clive Lloyd, Kapil Dev, and Ricky Ponting have etched their names in cricket folklore through their match-winning performances on the grandest stage. Whether it was India’s triumph against the West Indies in 1983 or England’s dramatic win on boundary countback against New Zealand in 2019, these finals have produced unforgettable moments that continue to captivate cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
