Both David Warner and Joe Root have slammed two centuries in the World Cup so far.
If these two score another one tonight, they would etch their names in the record-books.
Only Sourav Ganguly (2003), Mark Waugh (1996) and Matthew Hayden (2007) have slammed three tons in a single World Cup.
Kumar Sangakkara leads the chart with four centuries in a single edition.

Warner needs just eight runs to reach the 800-run mark in World Cup history.
With this, he will become only the eighth player to get past 800 World Cup runs for Australia.
He can also overcome former players David Boon (815) and Michael Clarke (888) in terms of World Cup runs.
Warner can also script his fourth World Cup ton, across editions, for Australia.
