The 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup schedule was unveiled on Tuesday, 27 June, during an event in Mumbai. The competition will kick-start on 5 October with a clash between the two finalists of the last edition, England and New Zealand.
The Indian cricket team will face a stern challenge in their very first match, with the opposition being the competition's most successful team, Australia.
That fixture will be played in Chennai's MA Chidambaran Stadium on 8 October, whilst exactly a week later, India will participate in perhaps what can be regarded as the most anticipated fixture of international cricket, against Pakistan. On 14 October, Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium will witness that enthralling game of cricket.

8 October – India vs Australia
14 October – India vs Pakistan
20 October – Australia vs Pakistan
