Australia at the ODI World Cup

Australia World Cup 2023

Australia are the only side in the game to have won the ODI World Cup five times with their former captain Ricky Ponting winning the title back-to-back in the year 2003 and 2007.

This year, they are being led by pacer Pat Cummins and are not being termed the absolute favourites to win the title but Australia has the ability to surprise all at the big stage, like they did in T20 World Cup 2021 and the ODI World Cup 1999.
