Three weeks of the event is over. In total 9 matches have been played during this period. Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and United Arab Emirates have played 2 matches each, whereas all other teams have played one a piece during this period. 4 games were played in New Zealand and 5 were played in Australia.
I have tried to capture a few stats and key moments of week 3.
300-plus
There have been seven 300-plus scores in the third week. Of these five scores came in first innings. Two of these scores were chased down. One of the score was 408/5 by South Africa once again went past the 400 mark scoring 411/4 against Ireland. The very next day Australia scored 417/6 against Afghanistan which is now the highest total in the world cup.
100
There have been six scores of 100/100+ in week three, with David Warner top scoring at 178. After Shaiman Anwar from UAE last week, Kyle Coetzer became the second batsman from Associates to score a century. His score of 156 is the highest by an associate batsman and he also became the first associate batsman to score a 150+ score.
Five-fors
There were only two bowlers who took five-fors in the third week of the world cup. Both were taken in the same match. Mitchell Starc took 6/28 in 9 overs against New Zealand. Earlier in the same match Tim Southee took 5/27 in 10 overs.

There have been eight 100+ partnerships in the third week, the highest partnership being 260 between David Warner and Steven Smith for the second wicket against Afghanistan. Incidentally this is the highest partnership for the any wicket for Australia. South Africa had two 100+ partnerships in this period. Out of these there were three 200+ partnerships.
