The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will get underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 5 with a clash between 2019 World Cup winner England and runners-up New Zealand. India’s biggest cricket stadium – the Narendra Modi Stadium – is also scheduled to host the final on November 19. The venue will also host the big one – India vs Pakistan – among the five matches on October 15.
The other nine venues are Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Dharamsala, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai and Pune. Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram will join Hyderabad in hosting the practice games.
“It’s a matter of great honour and pride to be hosting the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in different cities across India, showcasing the rich diversity of our country. The fervour and passion for cricket in India is unique. I am sure fans both here and abroad would be looking forward to the tournament’s return to India for the first time since 2011, when our team became the first to lift the trophy on home soil. I wish all the teams the very best in their preparations and look forward to hosting what promises to be another exciting tournament,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said at the launch event on Tuesday.
The top four teams will qualify for the semifinals, to be played in Mumbai on 15 November and in Kolkata on 16 November. The semi-finals and the final will have reserve days.
