Team India will join an elite group of teams if they go on to beat minnows Afghanistan in their ICC World Cup 2019 match at Rose Bowl in Southampton on Saturday.
If Virat Kohli and his troops get the better of their Asian rivals, they will become only the third team in the history of the sport to win 50 World Cup matches. Five-time champions Australia lead the way with 67 victories while New Zealand have won 52 matches thus far.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. India are currently at 49 wins and if they come out victorious in this David vs Goliath clash, they will join the two Trans-Tasman rivals in this elite list.
Australia are deservedly the table-toppers in this list as they have won the tournament on five occasions in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015. Their win percentage is also the highest in the history of the tournament.
As for New Zealand, they haven’t won the tournament yet but stats point towards the fact that they have been one of the most consistent teams in the World Cup, despite making it into the final just once in 2015.
