The International Cricket Council (ICC) has already announced the ‘2019 World Cup Schedule, Venues And Timings.’
With less than a year remaining before the 12th edition of the Cricket World Cup gets underway in England and Wales, the fever is already gripping the fans across the globe.
The ICC is leaving no stone unturned to make the upcoming World Cup a great success. The event is well on course to be the world’s biggest cricket carnival ever.
This is the first and overall fifth World Cup in England. After hosting the first three editions of the showpiece event, England last hosted the tournament in 1999.
The format for the tournament will be a single group of ten teams, with each team playing the other nine teams, and the top four teams progressing to a knockout stage of semi-finals and a final. The much-anticipated tournament will last for 45 days with 48 matches to be played.
Hosts England will take on South Africa in the opener on May 30, 2019, at The Oval in London. India will start their campaign against South Africa on June 5. Defending champions Australia will begin their title-defense against Afghanistan on June 1. Five-time champions Australia had won the tournament when it was last played in England in 1999.
The tournament will culminate with the fifth final at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground on July 14.
So without further ado, we take a look at the detailed ‘2019 World Cup Schedule, Venues And Timings.’
