The ICC has successfully attracted a strong fan base for the Cricket World Cup over many years. Additionally, throughout the past few years, the Cricket World Cup’s history has seen significant modifications.
Compared to now, one-day international (ODI) matches played in 1983 were quite different. It was primarily played in the daytime with a crimson ball. Each inning lasted 60 overs, and there were no distinct variations of fielding restrictions. The winning totals were far smaller, and the top hitters behaved as if it were a truncated Test match. Fielders have made an equal contribution in every competition, regardless of the playing style used in the ICC World Cup.
