The schedule for the ODI World Cup 2023 is out. The tournament will begin on October 5. England and New Zealand will play their first game at the Narendra Modi Stadium on October 5 in Ahmedabad. The first game for India will be held against Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. India and Pakistan will face off against each other in Ahmedabad, and the encounter will take place on October 15.
Pakistan had made a request to the Indian Cricket Board and the Cricket Governing Body for a change in the venue when it came to the India vs Pakistan game. They wanted the game to either take place in Chennai, Hyderabad or Bangalore, but the Indian Cricket Board rejected their proposal. So it will be played at Ahmedabad. 10 teams will face off against each other in the World Cup with the games being conducted in 10 venues across the country.

The format will be played in the form of round robin where each team will play the other nine sides. The top four will then qualify for the knockout stage and also the semi-finals. The last match in the group stages will involve Pakistan and England in Kolkata on November 12. India will be the standalone host this time. In 2011 Sri Lanka and Bangladesh were also co-hosts alongside India.
The first semifinal game will take place on Wednesday November 15 in Mumbai and the second semifinal fixture will take place on November 16 in Kolkata. Both semifinals will have a reserve day. The Final will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19 with November 20 as the reserve day. India lifted the World Cup after 28 years in 2011 in front of a boisterous home crowd at Mumbai.
