The ICC Cricket World Cup will be hosted by three countries next year i.e. in 2027. This includes South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. However, most of the matches will be held in South Africa only. Now only one year i.e. 365 days are left for this tournament to start. At present, the defending champion is Australia, which won the 2023 ODI World Cup by defeating Team India. Now the struggle to win this title will start again from next year.
A total of 14 teams will participate, the tournament will start with a super series.
A total of 14 teams will participate in next year’s World Cup. However, only two teams will be out of the round. ICC had already told that out of these 14 teams, a super series will be organized between the three lowest ranked teams. In this, the bottom two teams will be eliminated and the team topping the points table will join the remaining 11 teams and in this way the main matches will be played between 12 teams. These 12 teams will be divided into two groups. The three teams that will be on top in their respective groups will go ahead, after which one more team will come, which will be apart from these six teams. They will be a team which was not in the top 3, but still their points are more than the rest of the bottom teams of this group. In this way Super 7 teams will be selected. In Super 7, all the teams will play one match against each other and after that the top 4 teams will go to the semi-finals.
