#2 Zimbabwe
They have a knack of creating upsets in world cups ever since they were an associate member. Zimbabwe beat Australia in the group stage of the 1983 World Cup. It was their first World Cup and Australia were one the title favourites.
Trending
In the 1992 cricket World Cup, they created another upset by beating England. Later, they were granted test status in 1992. By the 1999 cricket World Cup, Zimbabwe were not considered minnows any more as they beat India and South Africa.
However, due to the internal crisis in Zimbabwe, their cricket has suffered. In their golden era in the late 90s, they were a team to beat.
Recent Performance
Zimbabwe played some good cricket in the recently concluded ICC world cup qualifiers. However, it was the heart-breaking loss to the UAE in the super sixes that put them out of contention for the upcoming world cup.
Zimbabwe will not be playing in the world cup for the first time since becoming an associate member in 1981.
