ODI Fantasy World Cup – Indian Performance at WC Opening Matches

During this ODI fantasy world cup 2019, India has started its campaign late. India’s opener match was against South Africa who has already played 2 matches and with India, it was their 3rd.

India’s journey to the world cup has been fascinating. It has been participating at the world cup since the inaugural season in 1975. It won the world cup fantasy cricket match during the third season in 1983. Following their first trophy win, the quality of play deteriorated for a few years.

Indian cricket revived its glamour and talent after Sourav Ganguly took the reins. It has almost not looked back since then. Under MS Dhoni, India won its 2nd world cup fantasy game trophy in 2011. This year as well Virat and Co. are high on confidence.

They have won their opener this year. Let us take a look at their performance in previous opening matches at the world cup. Join at 11wickets.com, India’s most trusted fantasy sports platform and enjoy world cup fantasy game.
