🏏ICC World Cup 2023 Warm Up Matches 29th Sept to 3rd Oct🏏
Hello friends, here is the thread for all World Cup Warm-Up match discussions.
A total of 10 warm-up matches will be played in five days, with each team playing two matches.
The matches will be 50-over games but will not have official one-day international (ODI) status as sides will be allowed to use all members of their 15-strong squads in the matches.
The Cricket World Cup gets underway on October 5 when England takes on New Zealand at the 134,000-seater stadium in Ahmedabad, and the nations are busy getting in shape before that.
During the main competition, the sides will all play each other once in a round-robin group format, but a number will have a chance to eye up the opposition in some warm-up matches.
The warm-up games offer captains and coaches a chance to finalize their first-choice XI, work out matchups, and get used to the conditions in India.
The warm-up matches take place between September 29 and October 3 in three different cities in India: Guwahati, Thiruvananthapuram, and Hyderabad.
All 10 teams taking part in the World Cup (India, England, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, South Africa) will have two warm-up matches each ahead of the tournament.
