93 real ODI World Cup squads from 1979 to 2023: India, Pakistan, Australia, West Indies, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, plus giant-killers like Kenya 2003, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and the Netherlands.
Yes, but it is meant to be rare. You need an elite, balanced XI: genuine batting in your top seven, big hitting across the side, and four elite bowlers. Most teams fall short, which is exactly what makes reaching the 500 Club worth it. In real cricket no team has ever even posted 500, let alone chased it. See has any team ever chased 500.
Almost always because the team was not balanced. Your top seven carry the Batting, but your Power is your seven biggest hitters and your Bowling is your four best bowlers, wherever they sit in the order. A great all-time team is not eleven run-scorers, it has real bowling names in it. You would rather have a prime Dale Steyn or Shoaib Akhtar in your side than an anonymous bowler. And when your batters chase knowing icons like that are behind them in the dugout, it lifts their morale to get over the line. Build the whole team, not just the top order.
Lord's 500, the game's own honours board, for everyone who has chased down 500. Every successful chase is etched on it, ranked by how fast you got there, fewest overs first, with boards for today, this week and all time, plus the most 500s landed. It is designed to be a rare, brag-worthy achievement.
For Batting, yes: only your top seven (1 to 7) count towards your Batting. Power and Bowling are judged across the whole XI. Your seven biggest hitters make up your Power and your four best bowlers make up your Bowling, wherever they bat. A big hitter in the tail still counts, and a bowling all-rounder up the order does too.
A line-up doesn't exist without a wicketkeeper, and a chase like this isn't complete without the leadership of a good captain. Missing one isn't make or break, but it does cost you a small penalty in the chase.
Every card is that player at that World Cup, so Kohli 2011 and Kohli 2023 are different cards. Batting is anchored to his ODI batting average, Power to his strike rate, and Bowling to his bowling average and economy, all from around that tournament. On top of the numbers sits a weighting for how iconic he was in that shirt, so the legends of each World Cup get their due. See how ratings work for the detail.
Your XI chases 500 in a ball-by-ball simulation driven by your players' ratings and how well the team is balanced across batting, power and bowling. A stronger, better-shaped XI chases faster. See how ratings work for the detail.
Before the game relaunched with real World Cup squads, it ran as an open beta from June to October 2026. The names of that beta's best, the fastest chasers and the most prolific, are kept for good in the Honours Board's archive. Open it from the ARCHIVE plate at the foot of the board.
