The thirteenth edition of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 is all set to commence from October 5 to November 19. Unlike the 2011 World Cup, where India hosted the event along with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, India will solely host this marquee event this time. Ten nations face each other to claim pride and glory on cricket’s biggest stage. Brace yourselves to watch ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 live on YuppTV and catch all the excitement.
A battle between last year’s finalists England and New Zealand kick starts the mega event in Ahmedabad on October 5. The host India will start their campaign with a clash against Australia on October 8 in Chennai. Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka will play against each other and compete for the world championship. After failing to progress in the qualifiers, West Indies missed the event for the first time in its history.
This quadrennial tournament group stage pursues a round-robin format followed by knockouts like quarterfinals, semi-finals, and a final match.
