The Venues of World Cup 2023 – A Detailed Lookup
The World Cup 2023 is a historic event for India. And India is hosting the 50-over World Cup solely for the first time.
They did it for the first time in 1987, then again nine years later in 1996, and finally in 2011, but each time they were joint hosts, with Sri Lanka, Pakistan, or Bangladesh hosting some of the matches.
All 48 matches, including the knockouts and final, will be held in ten cities this time: Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Dharamsala, Delhi, Lucknow, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Mumbai, and Kolkata.
Teams Participating in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023
This year’s World Cup will include ten teams. India qualified immediately as the hosts, as did Afghanistan, Australia, England, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Pakistan, and South Africa via the 2020-2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.
Two more teams qualified for the main event through the World Cup Qualifiers, which were held in Zimbabwe in June and July. The Qualifiers featured Ireland, Nepal, the Netherlands, Oman, Scotland, the UAE, the United States, and hosts Zimbabwe, in addition to former champions Sri Lanka and the West Indies.
While Sri Lanka and the Netherlands qualified for the World Cup through qualifiers, the West Indies failed due to a poor performance in the ICC World Cup qualifier.

The BCCI has provided funding to all host associations in order to enhance the tournament venues. Newer stadiums, such as the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, are in better shape and will only require aesthetic upgrades. In addition, many stadiums’ outfields have recently been resurfaced in order to improve playing conditions.
