The 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup was the 13th edition of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, a quadrennial One Day International (ODI) cricket tournament organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was hosted from 5 October to 19 November 2023 across ten venues in India. This was the fourth World Cup held in India, but the first where India was the sole host. The tournament was contested by ten national teams, maintaining the same format used in 2019. After six weeks of round-robin matches, India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand finished as the top four and qualified for the knockout stage. In the knockout stage, India and Australia beat New Zealand and South Africa, respectively, to advance to the final, played on 19 November at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Australia beat India in the final by six wickets, winning their sixth Cricket World Cup title. A total of 1,250,307 spectators attended the matches, the highest number in any Cricket World Cup to date. The tournament set viewership records in India, drawing 518 million viewers, with a peak of 59 million streaming viewers during the final, which alone recorded a record-breaking global audience of about 300 million viewers worldwide.
