Recipients
Eight
countries have risen to the podium: Australia (which has the record for medals
with six and for titles with four), England, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, West
Indies (the grouping of 15 Caribbean countries of the former British Empire),
Sri Lanka and Kenya.
The record
of titles followed is Australia with three to be champion in 1999, 2003 and
2007. The West Indies also won consecutive World Cups to win in the first two
editions (1975 and 1979, both in England).
The
organizers who have been proclaimed world champions are Sri Lanka in 1996
(played in their territory four group matches but none eliminatory) and India
in 2011 that opened the championship in Bangladesh but played the rest of the
tournament in his country.
