india's performance in the remaining world cups has been considerably consistent. in the 1987 cricket world cup, the team advanced to the semi-finals as favourites, they did the same in 1996, both times they suffered upset defeats in the semi-finals. india was less strong in the 1999 cricket world cup, and did not make it past the super six section. however they impressed all in the 2003 cup, only losing two games (both against reigning champions australia) and advancing to the finals before taking a loss.
