India registered its biggest win, by margin of runs, at the ODI World Cup when it thrashed Sri Lanka by 302 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
With the 7th victory, India secured its place in the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup 2023.
It was also the second largest victory overall in World Cup history, bettered only by Australia’s 309-run win over Netherlands earlier in the tournament.
India surpassed its previous largest victory, a 257-run win against Bermuda in 2007, by quite a distance after bundling out the Lankans, who were chasing 358, for just 55.
Interestingly, Thursday’s victory was also the fourth biggest win in all ODIs. The record for the biggest ODI win is India’s 317-run victory against Sri Lanka at Thiruvananthapuram in January this year.
