This day 2011 for Indian cricket was special. But they gave it back this time last week in Sydney.

1987-2015 - ALL 50 OVER ONES
Australia won it 5 times
One each for Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India

Australia 6 of the last 8 finals. Only 1992 and 2011 missing. 1979 and 1983 in earlier ones.

1975-1983
All in England
All 8 teams
All in June
All with West Indies in the final led by Clive Lloyd
All in the whites
All 60 overs long
All day games

So 2019 only the second 50 over one in England

Asian team played 7/11 finals.
Australia have played 7/11 finals.
Only final where neither Australia or an Asian team played = 23rd June 1979 West Indies vs England
