The tournament was contested by 10 teams, who played in a single round-robin group, with the top four at the end of the group phase – India, Australia, New Zealand and England – progressing to the semi-finals.
Approximately 2.6 billion people around the world watched the tournament, making it the most watched cricket competition ever as of 2019.[1]
Hosting
The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England and Wales withdrew their bid to host the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, which was played in Australia and New Zealand. It is the fifth time that the Cricket World Cup is being played in England, following the 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World Cups. Wales also hosted matches at the 1983 and 1999 tournaments, the latter also seeing matches played in Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands.[2][3]
Venues
The fixture list for the tournament was released on 26 April 2018 after the completion of an International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Kolkata. London Stadium had been named as a possible venue in the planning stages,[15][16] and in January 2017 the ICC completed an inspection of the ground, confirming that the pitch dimensions would be compliant with the requirements to host ODI matches.[17] However, when the fixtures were announced, London Stadium was not included as a venue.[18][19] All of the grounds are in England except for Sophia Gardens, which is in Wales.
