Ten iconic venues across India will play host to the 13th edition of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. From Dharamshala to Bangalore, thousands of fans will gather to watch the finest the global game has to offer.

A re-run of that unforgettable 2019 final opens the tournament as defending champions England take on New Zealand, runners-up four years ago.

Here’s all the details about ten venues you can expect to see throughout the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. 

Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad 

The largest sports stadium in the world will set the stage for the tournament opener, host an India vs Pakistan thriller and proudly present the World Cup’s climax final. 

The 132,000-capacity venue, renovated in 2021, is no stranger to history and a big occasion — in March 1987, Sunil Gavaskar became the first batter to breach the 10,000-Test run mark at the venue. 

Decades later, the stadium has hosted IPL finals and, in 2011, the last time that a World Cup was played in India, the hosts broke Australia’s streak of making the final of every ODI World Cup since 1996. 

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

With boundary sizes of around 65 metres, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is expected to offer some of the highest-scoring innings of the tournament. 

Records could be broken in a repeat of 2011, where Kevin O’Brien crashed the fastest hundred in an ODI World Cup in just 50 balls as Ireland chased down 328 to beat England. 

The stadium has been home to the National Cricket Academy since 2000, producing some of the finest international Indian talent seen this century. 

M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai 

Situated next to the Indian Ocean, the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium will provide one of the most humid climates across all venues. 

In 1952, India registered their first-ever win in Test cricket when Vijay Hazare’s team defeated Donald Carr’s England. 

The first-ever tied Test match was played between India and Australia in 1986 at the 38,200-capacity stadium that sits just two kilometres from Marina Beach. 

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi 

The Indian capital boasts one of the most historic venues in the country. 

Sachin Tendulkar broke Sunil Gavaskar’s record for most Test centuries when he brought up his 35th ton in a 2005 match against Sri Lanka.

The stadium formerly had the reputation of producing slow pitches but, following a renovation of the square, the pace has picked up with totals to match.

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium, Dharamsala 

With its picturesque views, Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium is one of the newest stadiums in the country. 

The venue has been a regular feature in India’s home international calendar since 2013 when England visited for an ODI. 

With a 64-metre boundary, fans are at the heart of the action and high-scoring innings can be expected in the stadium’s opening game between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. 

Eden Gardens, Kolkata 

Before the Narendra Modi Stadium’s renovation, Eden Gardens held the title for the largest venue in India with a capacity of 68,000.

It was the first stadium that hosted a World Cup final in 1987 after Lord’s hosted the first three. 

The lively pitch and breezy conditions next to the Hooghly River are sure to rustle up some stunning ODI clashes, as well as a World Cup semi-final meeting. 

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow 

Lucknow’s cricket stadium, built in 2017, has not hosted a huge number of international matches before but the conditions are primed for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. 

The square has had an extensive renovation since the Lucknow Super Giants claimed the stadium as their home venue. 

The stage will be set for Australia vs South Africa on 12 October, where history will be made as the stadium hosts its first-ever World Cup fixture. 

Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai 

India’s ‘cricket capital’ boasts another colossal venue which will act as a host to the other semi-final. 

The distinct red-soil pitch has seen some monumental feats in the sport since it was built in 1974. 

From Sachin Tendulkar’s masterful innings in the 1996 Men’s Cricket World Cup to left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel’s 10/119 bowling figures for New Zealand against India, the venue is used to providing magical moments. 

MCA International Stadium, Pune 

Nestled in a secluded area on the outskirts of Pune, the stadium hosted its first international game when India took on England in 2012 — it was granted Test status in 2016. 

Players and fans alike flock to the 42,700-capacity stadium for its ability to conjure huge scores. 

The hosts will take on Bangladesh when it stages its first 2023 ICC Men’s World Cup clash on 19 October. 

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad 

Before the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium was built in 2005, all international cricket in Hyderabad was played at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium. 

The 39,200-capacity venue’s popularity has sky-rocketed over 18 years and it lays claim to the rise of the Sunrisers Hyderabad who have established themselves as a strong IPL force for nearly a decade. 

A total of three matches will be played in October at the stadium including Pakistan vs Sri Lanka on 12 October.
