5 teams you might not know who played the World Cup

#1 Namibia

Namibia qualified for the 2003 World Cup held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya by finishing as the Runners Up in the 2001 ICC Trophy. The African nation was captained by Deon Kotze, a spinning all-rounder.

The 2003 World Cup was not a very memorable outing for Namibia, as they were beaten resoundingly in most of their encounters. Their most convincing match was against England, as they were well on their course to effect one of the biggest upsets in the history of the tournament, but fell short by 55 runs. Right arm pacer RJ van Vuuren claimed a five-wicket haul in the game.

Sachin Tendulkar hit a blistering 152 against Namibia

Besides this game, perhaps the most notable mark of their campaign was the 34th ODI century of Sachin Tendulkar, which was achieved by the Master Blaster in the 4th game of Namibia in the event.

Since then, Namibia have not succeeded in representing themselves again at the biggest stage in any of the subsequent editions.
