Cricket World Cup Tickets Continued
The first three
tournaments were officially known as the Prudential Cup because the financial services
company Prudential plc was the main sponser in each event. Eight teams participated in the
first tournament: Australia, England, the West Indies, Pakistan, India, and New Zealand (the six
Test nations at the time), with Sri Lanka and a composite team from East Africa. One notable
omission was the South African cricket team who were not competing due to the international
sports boycott. West Indies won the first Cricket World Cup when they defeated
Australia by 17 runs.
In the eight tournaments held so far, five teams have won the Cricket World Cup.
Australia, the current champions, is the most successful World Cup team, having won the
tournament four times. West Indies won the first two tournaments while India, Pakistan and Sri
Lanka have won one each.
