The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had threatened to boycott the competition after the Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to send a team to the 2023 Asia Cup scheduled in Pakistan.[8][9] This issue
was resolved in June 2023 after the Asian Cricket Council announced that the competition would be hosted
using a hybrid model proposed by the PCB, with nine of the 13 matches in the competition played in Sri
Lanka.[10][11]
This is the first ICC World Cup in which penalties for slow over-rates will be given to bowling sides if they
do not complete their 50 overs in the stipulated time. On-field umpires can penalise the bowling team by
not allowing more than four fielders outside the 30-yard circle.[12]
Qualification
Like the previous World Cup, the
tournament will feature 10 teams. The
main route for qualification was,
however, through the new ICC Cricket
World Cup Super League, a series of
matches played between 2020 and
2023 rather than the ODI rankings.[13]

Group stage
The ICC announced the World Cup schedule on 27 June 2023 at an event in Mumbai with a countdown of
100 days to the opening match of the World Cup on 5 October. The group stage started with the match
between the finalists of the 2019 Cricket World Cup, New Zealand and England, at Narendra Modi
Stadium.[6] On 9 August 2023, nine fixtures, including the match between India and Pakistan, were
rescheduled by the ICC.[45] The top seven placed teams in the tournament's final points table other than

Qualification
The host, India, was the first team to qualify for the semi-finals after their 302-run win against Sri Lanka,
their seventh successive win in the World Cup.[48] India secured the top place amongst the semi-finalists
after they beat South Africa by 243 runs on 5 November at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, accumulating 16
points in 8 matches, as no other team would be able to gather as many points as India in their remaining
matches.[49]
South Africa became the second team to qualify for the semi-finals after Pakistan defeated New Zealand on
4 November; however, with that win, Pakistan kept their hope of reaching the knockout stage alive.[50]
Australia became the third team to qualify for the semi-finals after defeating Afghanistan on 7 November,
sharing equal points with South Africa, and they will play against each other in the semi-finals.[51]
New Zealand confirmed their berth in the semi-finals as the fourth team and will face India. Their place
was confirmed after Pakistan lost their final match against England.[52]
