The highly anticipated ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifier is set to kick off on June 18 in Zimbabwe. This 10-team tournament will witness a fierce battle among the participating nations vying for a chance to secure a spot in the prestigious ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, scheduled to be held in India later this year.
The teams have been divided into two groups, each consisting of five teams. The group stage will feature a round-robin series, where every team will face each other once. The top three teams from each group will then advance to the CWC Qualifier Super Six stage, which promises to intensify the competition. After the completion of the Super Six stage, the top two teams will earn their coveted tickets to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, solidifying their place among the world’s elite cricketing nations.
Group A comprises West Indies, Zimbabwe, Netherlands, Nepal, and the United States of America, while Group B features United Arab Emirates, Scotland, Sri Lanka, Ireland, and Oman. The matches of the tournament will be hosted across four venues in Zimbabwe, namely Harare Sports Club, Takashinga Cricket Club, Queen’s Sports Club, and Bulawayo Athletic Club.
The climax of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifier will be the highly anticipated final, which will take place at Harare Sports Club on July 9.
