The 2023 World Cup of Cricket has begun.
India will host a cricket spectacle over the next six weeks, and England will be looking to win back the trophy after losing their first two matches.
Once again, all ten teams will compete against one another in a round-robin format in the opening round of the 50-over competition, with the top four teams moving on to the knockout stages.
The massive 132,000-seat Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the semi-finals in the middle of November before the championship game. For the first time, the two-time champion West Indies will not be competing in the World Cup after an utterly awful qualification effort.
Guests India is the side to beat, but don’t discount teams like South Africa, Pakistan, and New Zealand. Before losing to South Africa back-to-back, Australia was aiming for a record sixth title.
