The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier schedule has been announced. The highly anticipated Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023 is scheduled to be held in Zimbabwe from June 18 to July 9, 2023.
With the participation of 10 teams, the stakes are high as they vie for two coveted spots in the 2023 ODI World Cup in India.
The 10 participating teams have been divided into two groups. Group A consists of hosts Zimbabwe, the West Indies, the Netherlands, Nepal, and the United States, while Group B comprises Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
In the preliminary stage, each team will face off against the other teams in their respective group once. The top three teams from each group will then advance to the Super Six stage, where they will compete against the teams they haven’t encountered in the group stage.
During the Super Six stage, all points earned in the group stage will be carried forward, except for those acquired against the teams that fail to progress to the Super Six stage.
The ultimate prize awaits the two teams that reach the final, as they will secure their spots in the prestigious ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. Check complete details on ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023, Complete schedule, Fixture, Venue, and Squads.
