The ICC Men’s World Cup is a quadrennial international cricket tournament that brings together the world’s top cricketing nations to compete for the coveted title of world champion. The tournament is organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the governing body of cricket, and has been held since 1975.
Teams from across the world participate in the tournament, with the number of teams and the format varying across different editions. In the most recent tournament held in 2019, ten teams competed in a round-robin format, with the top four teams progressing to the semi-finals.
The tournament is widely regarded as the pinnacle of international cricket and has produced many memorable moments in its history, including the famous tied final between Australia and the West Indies in 1999 and the stunning final of the 2019 edition, where England defeated New Zealand in a super over.
The tournament is a platform for players to showcase their skills and talent on the global stage, with many legendary cricketers having left their mark on the World Cup over the years. The likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Glenn McGrath, and Muttiah Muralitharan are just a few of the names that have etched their names in the annals of World Cup history.
The upcoming 2023 edition of the tournament promises to be another exciting chapter in the history of the World Cup, with some of the best teams in the world set to battle it out for the ultimate prize in cricket.
ICC WORLD CUP 2023
The International Cricket Council manages the Cricket World Cup, which is the biggest cricket tournament in the world. It is a fifty-over game and is played every four years.
India will host the 13th edition of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, scheduled to take place in October 2023. It will be the first time that India hosts a complete ICC World Cup event. The BCCI is preparing to make this World Cup a successful event in India.
Australia is the most successful team, having won the World Cup five times. The defending champions, England, who also won the T20 World Cup 2022, are the strongest contenders to win the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023. Host India has the advantage of playing matches on their home ground. This is not the first time India is hosting the ODI World Cup, as they have previously hosted the World Cup in 1987, 1996, and 2011. However, the World Cup 2023 is going to be held entirely in India.
Format
Ten teams will compete against each other in the round-robin stage of this ICC event, with each win earning two points for the respective teams, and a no-result match resulting in one point for both teams. The round-robin stage will determine the four teams that will qualify for the semi-finals, with one team ultimately emerging as the winner.
