WC Semi-finals: The schedule for the Men’s One-Day International (ODI) Cricket World Cup 2023 has recently been revealed by the International Cricket Council (ICC). From October 5 through November 19, the competition will be played with 10 teams at ten different sites.
The first and final games will be held at Ahmedabad’s iconic Narendra Modi Stadium. Other host cities include Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Dharamsala, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Pune. In addition to Hyderabad, practice games will be held in Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram.
The match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is without a doubt the most eagerly awaited match of the whole schedule release. This highly anticipated showdown will take place on October 15 at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
The Indian squad, captained by skipper Rohit Sharma, will begin their campaign against Australia on Sunday, October 8, at the MA Chidambaram Chennai Stadium, followed by a match against Afghanistan in New Delhi on October 11. Pakistan, on the other hand, will start their campaign against two qualifying teams in Hyderabad on October 6 and 12 before meeting their arch-rivals.
During the 2023 World Cup, India will compete in nine of the 10 venues, displaying their significant presence. Pakistan’s matches, on the other hand, will take place in just five cities: Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad.
If both India and Pakistan reach the semi-finals, an intriguing surprise occurs.
According to the schedule released on June 27, the first semi-final will be held in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, while the second semi-final will be held at the Eden Gardens. An exciting surprise might occur if both India and Pakistan reach the semi-finals.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has expressed security worries about Mumbai, thus if Pakistan gets to the semi-finals, the match will be played in Kolkata. Unless they are drawn against Pakistan, India will play in the semi-finals in Mumbai.
In addition, the ICC has imposed two requirements on the World Cup schedule. Regardless of their position in the Qualifiers event, the West Indies will be referred to as “Qualifier 1” if they qualify. Similarly, no of where they finish in the Qualifiers tournament, Sri Lanka will be referred to as “Qualifier 2” once qualified.
