The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 group stage format is a round-robin, where all ten teams play each other once, in a single group. This means a total of 45 matches will be played, with each team playing a total of nine matches. The top four teams from the group will progress to the knockout stage. A similar format was previously used in the 1992 Cricket World Cup.
Let’s Understand the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Groups Stage in details:
10 teams are going to participate in this cricket world cup, 2019 group. There will be only a single central group instead of 2 different groups as it used to be in previous seasons of 2019 cricket world cup. It means all the 10 teams will be in a single central group and each team will play with every other world cup team.
So, This season of world cup would be super fun as there would be a total of 45 matches to be played in this group stage before the finals (2 semi-finals and 1 final). The quarter-final stage has been now removed because there is only one single group in the tournament. And so, including the quarter-finals would have extended the schedule. So, there will be just semi-finals and final match after the group stage is over.
So this is a new ICC Cricket World cup 2019 Group matches approach adopted regarding the ICC cricket world cup 2019. We may see a similar format in the other ICC world cup events in the future.
Indian cricket team will start their 2019 Cricket World Cup campaign against team South Africa on June 5. Get the full schedule and venue list of 2019 Cricket World Cup here.
