ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Schedule | Date | Teams | Venue

Buckle up, cricket aficionados! The Cricket World Cup 2023 is set to embark upon its dazzling journey on October 5. The battleground? Ahmedabad’s sprawling Narendra Modi Stadium, where reigning victors, England, will lock horns with New Zealand, the very team they edged past in the previous saga. And if that’s not electrifying enough, circle October 14 on your calendars! The same venue witnesses the epic duel of India and Pakistan. The crescendo peaks with the grand finale on November 19, preceded by the semifinal rhapsodies in the iconic Wankhede of Mumbai and Eden Gardens of Kolkata on the 15th and 16th.

So, where’s the game playing out? Across a tapestry of 10 majestic venues, as this flagship fiesta graces India for the fourth jubilant time since the heroic 2011 triumph. The venues? From the bustling streets of Chennai, Delhi, Pune, Dharamsala, Lucknow, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru to Ahmedabad’s echoing arenas. Yet, a curveball! The iconic Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, boasting a colossal 55,000 capacity and a rich legacy, remains conspicuously absent from the league fixtures. Reserve days? Yes, even the semis get them.

Fasten your seat belts, for here’s a tantalizing tidbit: Eight juggernauts clinched their spots, while the remaining duo danced their way through the qualifiers. The drill? A relentless round-robin – each titan clashing with the other nine, aiming for that coveted top-four berth. But before the storm? A serene prelude from September 29 to October 3 in Guwahati, Thiruvananthapuram, and Hyderabad.

Dive into the narrative, and you’ll find Rohit Sharma’s battalion launching against Australia’s fiery brigade on October 8 in Chennai. Yet, lurking in the shadows are New Zealand and England, the very entities who tainted India’s 2019 run. Ah, the bittersweet memories of Edgbaston and Manchester…

A twist in the tale, though! A mere fortnight ago, we were gifted a different date-list. Initial murmurs hinted at an unveiling alongside the World Test Championship final, only to be overshadowed by India and Australia’s captivating clash at The Oval. Whispers in the corridors hinted at Pakistan’s appeal to reschedule their Bengaluru and Chennai battles. BCCI’s response? The calendar narrates the tale.

For history buffs, 2019’s fixture-list made its grand appearance a staggering year ahead of the English carnival, leaving this year’s muted revelry a perplexing enigma. The cards remained close to ICC’s chest, and BCCI, intriguingly, played along.
