Most runs scored by teams contesting a Cricket World Cup match (male)

Australia (388 all out) and New Zealand (383 for 9) produced 771 runs in 100 overs in a World Cup thriller at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, India, on 28 October 2023. The deluge of runs at Dharamsala featured significant contributions from Australia openers Travis Head (109 runs off 67 balls) and David Warner (81 off 65 balls), who added 175 for the first wicket, New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra (116 off 89 balls) and middle-order batter Jimmy Neesham (58 off 39 balls), who took his team to within six runs of an improbable victory as the Black Caps posted the highest second-innings total at the Cricket World Cup (and the fourth-highest in any One-Day International).

The Trans-Tasman rivals beat the 754 runs in 94.5 overs scored by South Africa (428 for 5 – the highest team score in a Cricket World Cup match) and Sri Lanka (326 all out) at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, India, on 7 October 2023, earlier in the tournament.

The 714 runs scored by Australia (381 for 5) and Bangladesh (333 for 8) in 100 overs at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, UK, on 20 June 2019 had been the highest match aggregate at the ICC Cricket World Cup prior to the 2023 edition of the tournament.
