Highest team totals in ODI World Cup all time
A hot day in Delhi and Sri Lanka have been absolutely cooked out here. Some audacious hitting from the Proteas, as they announce their intentions for the World Cup nice and early!! On a green deck, devoid of much turn, Sri Lanka didn’t have the tools the opposition, and South Africa made merry.

They lost Bavuma early, but then came a marathon 204-run partnership between Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen. Sri Lanka had a few chances, but when they didn’t capitalize South Africa put them to the sword. Aggressive batting from this duo ensured they both scored brisk hundreds. Both were dismissed after their centuries, but then came the Markram mania. It is really something else to watch him batting in full tilt, and everyone except Sri Lanka’s bowlers and fans would have enjoyed today. Some of the cleanest power hitting on show, as the South African vice-captain notched up a 49-ball hundred – the fastest in ODI WC history. Klaasen and Miller added finishing cameos, and 428 got added to the board. Is it already about damage limitation or will Sri Lanka go for the chase? Stick around to find out…
Rassie van der Dussen
As far as batting goes, a perfect day out for us. (The ball) was swinging up front. Pretty hot out there. Markram, when he plays like that. is incredible to watch. He found a nice length, bowling it into the wicket (his battle with Wellalage). Once he found that, he made it tough for us in the middle. I needed to go to alternative options. We just really try and play the conditions to be honest. Quinny and I batted normally for a large part of the innings. We know what the guys coming in can do. Klaasen, Markram and Miller are some of the best finishers in the world currently. The game’s only halfway done. It’s a very good outfield here, a very good wicket.
