- Joe Root has scored more than 6400 runs in this format at an average of close to 50. He has two half centuries in two matches in this WC.

- Aiden Markram smashed the fastest century in the history of World Cup of just 40 balls in the opening match against Sri Lanka. He backed it up with a fifty in the last game
