The ICC 2011 Cricket World Cup top the average run-rate of more than five runs per over for the first time in its 36-year-old history.
The tenth version of the event averaged 5.03 per over, compared to the preceding highest of 4.95 per over in the 2007 competition in the West Indies.
The scoring rate has changed since the first three edition in 1975, 1979 and 1983 during which per innings consisted of 60 overs, somewhat than the current 50 over-format.
In difference to the overall trend of a rising run rate, average runs per wicket have remained reliable all through the history of the rivalry. The only exception was the 1979 edition, thanks to the unsatisfactory English summer.
David Richardson, ICC general manager (cricket), said: "The statistics are a clear design of the thrilling cricket that was played during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011."
