At every edition of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, we see plenty of records getting created and re-written and the ongoing tournament in India is no exception. Beginning in 1975, the ODI World Cup has reached its 13th edition, producing plenty of runs and a lot of surprising results. Defending champions England find themselves at the bottom of the table after four matches, while Afghanistan, playing only their third ODI World Cup, have picked up two wins against former world champions so far. The Netherlands produced a major breakthrough as well, defeating the in-form South African team in Dharamshala. (Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table)

South Africa's stand-in captain Aiden Markram on Monday admitted to his side's poor showing against Bangladesh in recent times but asserted that they can beat the 'Tigers' if they replicate their dominant form shown during the massive win over defending champions England.
