The defending champions, England, will face New Zealand in the opening match, which will be a rematch of the thrilling 2019 final. Interestingly, the last three World Cups have all been won by the hosting nations – India in 2011, Australia (co-hosts alongside New Zealand) in 2015, and England in 2019.
The final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will take place on November 19th at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which is also hosting the opener and the much-anticipated match between India and Pakistan on October 15th.

Under the current format, the top four teams from the round-robin stage will advance to the semi-finals. The team finishing first will face the team finishing fourth in one semi-final, while the second and third-place finishers will meet in the other semi-final. The winners of each semi-final will then compete in the final on November 20th to determine the World Cup champions.
