New World Cup Record
On Saturday, South Africa achieved the highest World Cup total, scoring 428-5 against Sri Lanka in a record-breaking day in New Delhi.
The Proteas surpassed the previous World Cup record of 417, set by Australia against Afghanistan in Perth in 2015.
Aiden Markram (106) created history with the fastest World Cup century, reaching the milestone in just 49 balls.
Rassie van der Dussen (108) and Quinton de Kock (100) also registered centuries in the first World Cup match featuring three centuries in a single innings.
Playing in his final international tournament, De Kock achieved his 18th ODI century in 83 balls, featuring 12 fours and three sixes.
De Kock partnered with van der Dussen for a 204-run second-wicket stand. However, he was dismissed right after reaching his century, top-edging a delivery from Matheesha Pathirana to Dhananjaya de Silva at mid-on.
Van der Dussen later reached his fifth century in the format, taking 103 balls with 12 fours and three sixes.
The partnership between De Kock and van der Dussen commenced after Dilshan Madushanka trapped skipper Temba Bavuma lbw for just eight in the second over.
