ODI WC Stats: Lowest Team Totals in ODI World Cup History

Over the years, teams have put up huge totals in ICC Cricket World Cup clashes. But sometimes all the planning goes for a toss, and some teams even struggle to put respectable scores on the board.

In the 2003 edition, something similar happened to the Canadian team when their batting faltered in front of a strong Sri Lankan bowling attack. Canada could only manage to post 36 runs — the lowest team total in the tournament’s history. 

And believe me or not, they also have the second-lowest score (45) in this coveted tournament to their name!

So, in this article, let’s take a look at the lowest team scores in ODI World Cup history.
