ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Schedule, Date and Venue
The World Cup opener will have England take on South Africa on Thursday, May 30 at the Oval in London, and this will be followed by the Windies facing off against Pakistan the next day. New Zealand’s opening game of the competition will come against Sri Lanka on June 1 at Cardiff, while on the same day qualifier Afghanistan will take on defending champions Australia at Bristol.
Bangladesh will have to wait till June 2 for their opener against South Africa, and that will be played at the Oval as well, while India have opted to play their first game later on June 5 and that match will also be against South Africa – essentially, India’s first game of the competition will be South Africa’s third.
The league stage of the World Cup will go all the way up to July 6 when India face off against traditional rivals Sri Lanka at Leeds and Australia clash with South Africa at Manchester.
The top four sides will qualify for the semi-finals, with the team finishing at the top of the table scheduled to take on the fourth-placed side in the first semi-final at Old Trafford in Manchester on July 9. On July 11, the second semi-final will be played between the second and third-placed teams at Birmingham before the final on July 14. The full ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 fixtures can be found here.
