Team India will start their campaign against Australia on October 08 which will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The mouth-watering clash against Pakistan will take place on October 14 in Ahmedabad.

The World Cup will be a great opportunity for India to end their ICC trophy drought. The team last won a World Cup in 2011 when MS Dhoni led the team to glory. The last three editions of the World Cup have been won by the hosts. India won the 2011 World Cup while Australia won the 2015 World Cup at home.  England continued the streak of hosts winning the World Cup and emerged victorious in 2019.
