The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 qualifier is set to take place in Zimbabwe from June 18, Sunday where 10 teams will play for the last two spots in the World Cup later this year.

The 10 teams including host Zimbabwe along with West Indies, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Nepal, Netherlands, Oman, Scotland, UAE, and USA will play the 34 ODIs tournament. The top two teams will qualify for the marquee event in October-November in India.

Here is all you need to know about the CWC Qualifier:

What is the format?

The 10 teams are divided into two groups of five and will play each other in a round-robin format. The top three teams in each group will then progress to super six stage where they will play teams coming from the other group.

The top teams will qualify for the World Cup in India and also a final for the trophy, but that result won’t affect the qualification of the team.
