The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 was the twelfth World Cup. It was held in England and Wales from 30 May to 14 July 2019. The champion was the England team, while India finished third.
Format of the tournament
There was one group in which ten teams participated. Each national team played the other nine teams. The top four progressed to the final stage – the elimination matches. By the way, this format received criticism due to the fact that the sports marathon was not missed by some associated teams.

As already mentioned, there was one group of ten national teams participated, including:
- Australia,
- Afghanistan,
- England,
- Bangladesh,
- West Indies,
- Zimbabwe,

A total of 11 stadiums hosted the 2019 Cricket World Cup: the Edgbaston County Ground, Bristol County Ground, Sophia Gardens, Riverside Ground, Headingley, Lord’s Cricket Ground, The Oval, Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Trent Bridge, Rose Bowl and County Ground.
In terms of cities, sporting games have been held in Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Chester-le-Street, Leeds, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Southampton, and Taunton.
India in the group stage
During the group stage, India scored the most points with 15. The team took first place and qualified for the final stage. During the group stage, India had seven wins and one defeat (against England), one of the hosts of the tournament.
Besides, the match against New Zealand remained scoreless as the game was suspended.
Final round
In the semi-finals, the Indian team took on New Zealand. Though the match was closely fought, New Zealand eventually won with a difference of 18 points and entered the final of the competitions.
In the other semi-final, England defeated Australia to become New Zealand’s opponent. In the final, England was stronger than Australia, beating their opponent by a margin of 8 wickets.
As a result, India finished third, which is also a pretty good result. Already as the host of the tournament in 2023, India can fight for the gold and will be one of the favourites at the bookmaker site and the player can bet on these matches.
