MATCH 8 INDIA VS. SOUTH AFRICA AT SOUTHAMPTON
- South Africa's 227 for 9 is their third-highest, completed World Cup total where no player has scored 50. Their highest remains 232 for 6 against England at Sydney in 1992.
- Chris Morris's 42 is only the second occasion of a South African No. 8 top-scoring in one of their World Cup innings. Shaun Pollock's 52 against Zimbabwe at Chelmsford in 1999 is the only other occasion.
- Yuzvendra Chahal became the fourth Indian bowler after Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Shami and Debashish Mohanty to take four wickets in his first World Cup match.
- Rohit Sharma became the seventh Indian batsman to score a century in the second innings of a World Cup match. Sharma's unbeaten 122 was just short of Sachin Tendulkar's 127 not out against Kenya at Cuttack in 1996 as India's highest, second innings World Cup score.
- After losing their first three World Cup matches against South Africa, India have now won the last two between the sides.
MATCH 9 BANGLADESH VS. NEW ZEALAND AT THE OVAL
- New Zealand's fifth consecutive win over Bangladesh in the World Cup was also their closest. New Zealand have won all five matches batting second.
- For the second time in their World Cup history, six Bangladesh players took a catch. The previous occasion was against Afghanistan at Canberra in 2015.
MATCH 10 AUSTRALIA VS. WEST INDIES AT TRENT BRIDGE
- Nathan Coulter-Nile's 92 is the highest World Cup innings at number eight surpassing Heath Streak's unbeaten 72 for Zimbabwe vs. New Zealand at Bloemfontein in 2003.
- The 250 runs added by Australia for their last six wickets is the second best recovery in World Cup history based on a team losing their first four wickets for fewer than 50 runs. India's recovery from 9 for 4 to 266 for 8 against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells remains the highest.
- For the first time in their World Cup history, all Australian wickets fell to catches. This has happened between all competing nations six times in the World Cup.
- Shai Hope became the sixth West Indian wicket-keeper to take four or more dismissals in a World Cup innings and the second after Ridley Jacobs to do so twice.
- Chris Gayle became the eighteenth batsman to score 1000 runs in the World Cup. He is the third West Indian behind Brian Lara and Viv Richards to achieve the feat.
- Mitchell Starc became the third Australian bowler to take five wickets in a World Cup innings twice. He follows Gary Gilmour and Glenn McGrath.
- Australia became the first team to score 20,000 runs in the World Cup.
