This day will be remembered as the day AB went berserk. De Villiers, coming in to bat in the 30th over, with the run rate just hovering below 5 an over, took the final tally to 408, blasting an indomitable unbeaten 162 off 66 balls, hitting a record 17 fours in the process.

The Windies could only manage a meager 151 in the process, handing the Proteas a comfortable 257 runs victory on the day.
South Africa v Ireland, Canberra 411/4 (2015 World Cup)
Another South Africa classic in the 2015 World Cup. Twin centuries from Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis gave the lower order hitters a platform to go for kill and boy did they do so.
AB de Villiers, Russouw and David Miller smacked the Irish bowlers all over the park, each batting at strike rates over 200 to post a massive 411 on the board.

In reply, Ireland could only manage 210 with a fighting half-century from Balbirnie.
Hashim Amla was declared the Man of the Match but the highlight of this game was obviously death batting by three of the most dangerous batsmen in world cricket at the moment.
India v Bermuda, Port of Spain 413/5 (2007 World Cup)
In what was a World Cup to forget for India, a world record got made as India made light work of Associate nation Bermuda’s bowling, with Virender Sehwag scoring a century and Yuvraj Singh chipping in with a 46 ball 83 to post what was the highest World Cup total at the time.
In India: Politics & Entertainment
Sehwag, coming in to bat at an awkward No.3, smashed 14 fours and 3 sixes enroute to his century. Bermuda, overwhelmed with the massive total on the board could only manage 156 to hand India a victory by 257 runs.
Australia v Afghanistan, Perth 417/6 (2015 World Cup)
The 2015 World Cup is not called the World Cup of Runs for no reason. Three of the five highest totals ever scored in World Cups have come in the 2015 edition.
Australia stand top of that list as the eventual champions drew a clear line between themselves and minnows Afghanistan.

David Warner led the onslaught with a 133 ball 178 as Glenn Maxwell took advantage of the tired Afghan attack to smash 88 runs off 39 balls.
