Format of game
Format of game
16 countries (including the debutant Afghanistan), divided
into two groups of eight, will dispute a group phase of a month that will lead
to direct eliminations of the quarterfinals, semifinals and final. The matches
will be played in ODI format (One Day International), that is, with 300 balls
for each team (divided into 50 overs of six pitches each), which will lead to
each match lasting approximately eight hours.
In each team there are eleven players, who battled in pairs,
and it is about getting the maximum number of races possible before they
eliminate ten of them (when there is only one player is no longer played).
Recipients
Eight countries have risen to the podium: Australia (which
has the record for medals with six and for titles with four), England, India,
Pakistan, New Zealand, West Indies (the grouping of 15 Caribbean countries of
the former British Empire), Sri Lanka and Kenya.
The record of titles followed is Australia with three to be
champion in 1999, 2003 and 2007. The West Indies also won consecutive World
Cups to win in the first two editions (1975 and 1979, both in England).
The organizers who have been proclaimed world champions are
Sri Lanka in 1996 (played in their territory four group matches but none
eliminatory) and India in 2011 that opened the championship in Bangladesh but
played the rest of the tournament in his country.
