West Indies.
The inaugural Cricket World Cup was hosted in 1975 by England. The tournament was won by the West Indies, who defeated Australia by 17 runs in the final at Lord's.
The matches consisted of 60 six-ball overs per team, played during the daytime in traditional form, with the players wearing cricket whites and using red cricket balls.
Eight teams participated in the first tournament: Australia, England, the West Indies, New Zealand, India, and Pakistan (the six Test nations at the time), together with Sri Lanka and a composite team from East Africa. One notable omission was South Africa, who were banned from international cricket due to apartheid.
