1979 Cricket World Cup

The 1979 Cricket World Cup (formally the Prudential World Cup) was the second version of the competition and was won by the West Indies. It was held from 9 to 23 June 1979 in England. The arrangement had stayed unaltered from 1975. Eight nations took an interest in the occasion. The preparatory matches were played in 2 gatherings of 4 each. The main two groups in every gathering played the elimination rounds, whose champs played the last.

The matches played comprised of 60 overs for each group and were played in conventional white dressing and with red balls. They were altogether played amid the day and thus began early.

The Prudential Cup was lifted by Clive Lloyd, skipper of the West Indies who began as the top picks to win the glass once more. There was no 'Man of the Series' granted in 1979.

East Africa who played in the primary World glass did not qualify this time, which implied that there would be no country from the African district taking an interest in the 1979 World Cup.
