The ODI World Cup 2023 will take place in a matter of months and the cricket fans can’t wait for the spectacle to begin. The competition will be held in India, and it is anticipated that play will begin on October 5. The tournament is anticipated to have 48 matches in total. 

For the very first time since 2011, the World Cup will return to India, featuring 48 matches amongst 10 countries competing for the cricket championship. Eight of the ten countries have already qualified for the competition as a result of their results in the ICC ODI Super League, while the two other teams will be chosen following the qualifiers, which will be held in Zimbabwe in June.

India, Australia, Afghanistan, New Zealand, Pakistan, England, Bangladesh, and South Africa are the eight teams who have qualified. While just two teams from the USA and the UAE will travel to India for the main competition, the Netherlands, Zimbabwe, Scotland, Oman, Nepal, and Ireland will. 

The ODI World Cup 2023's official schedule is anticipated to be revealed in the next few days, but according to media sources, the Indian Cricket Board has narrowed down its top choices for tournament locations to Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mumbai, Rajkot, Bengaluru, Delhi, Indore, Mohali, Guwahati, and Hyderabad. Additionally, it has been discovered that Ahmedabad will host the final.

Misbah Ul Haq, the former captain of Pakistan, has chosen his team's finalist for the World Cup 2023, which is only around the way. He announced Pakistan as well as India as the two tour finalists without hesitation. While speaking to News 24, he declared his intention to see the two neighbours and arch-rivals face-off against each other. 

He said, “As a Pakistani, I want to see India playing Pakistan in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. All the Indians and Pakistanis would want the same, as there can’t be a bigger game than that. Look, the performance and the destiny will decide the opponents of the final, but I can at least keep my point of view forward."
