The remaining two teams will be decided during the ongoing World Cup Qualifiers in Zimbabwe.

All 48 matches of the World Cup will take place at 10 different venues. This marks the fourth time that India is hosting this premier ODI cricket tournament, with the last time being in 2011 when India won. India’s matches will be held in Chennai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Pune, Dharamsala, Lucknow, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad. Interestingly, the historic Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, with a capacity of 55,000, will not host any of India’s matches, even though it has previously hosted Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. Both semi-finals will have a reserve day.
