Hosting
The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England and Wales withdrew their bid to host the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, which was played in
Australia and New Zealand. It is the fifth time that the Cricket World Cup is being played in England and Wales, following the 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World
Cups.

Qualification
The 2019 World Cup features 10 teams, a decrease from previous World Cups in 2011
and 2015 which featured 14 teams.[5] The hosts, England, and the top seven other
teams in the ICC One Day International rankings as of 30 September 2017 earned
automatic qualification, with the remaining two spots being decided by the 2018
Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[6]

At the time of the announcement of the qualification structure, ICC Associate and
Affiliate members, who were guaranteed four spots in the previous two World Cup
tournaments, could be represented by at most two teams, and possibly none at all if
they were beaten by the lowest ranked Full Members in the Qualifier.[6] It also meant

Test cricketing nations. However, they still needed to qualify for the World Cup via the
current process.

The final stage of the tournament was a "Super Six" stage in which the the top two teams qualified for the 2019 World Cup. The West Indies were guaranteed a
spot after defeating Scotland in the penultimate round.[7] Afghanistan joined the West Indies in qualifying for the World Cup after defeating Ireland in the final
over which eliminated both Ireland and Zimbabwe from qualifying.[8] This was the first time since 1983 that Zimbabwe failed to qualify for a World Cup.[9]
Ireland also missed the World Cup for the first time since 2007 and for the first time ever no Associate nation participated in the World Cup.[10]

Tournament summary

Group stage

Week 1
The 2019 tournament began on 30 May at The Oval in London, between the host nation, England, and South Africa.
England batted first and, despite losing their first wicket to the second ball of the tournament, went on to score 311/8,
with Ben Stokes top-scoring with 89 runs. In reply, South Africa were bowled out for 207, which included a collapse of
eight wickets for 63 runs, to give England a victory by 104 runs.[30] The next three matches were one-sided: in the first,
the West Indies bowled out Pakistan for just 105 before chasing the target down in only 13.4 overs.[31] The first double-
header of the group stage saw comfortable wins for New Zealand and Australia, as they won by 10 and 7 wickets
respectively over Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.[32][33]

At the Oval in the fifth match of the group stage, Bangladesh made their highest score in ODIs, with 330/6. Mushfiqur
Rahim top-scored for Bangladesh with 78, as he and Shakib Al Hasan had a 142-run partnership for the third wicket.[34]
In reply, the South Africans could not sustain a partnership with wickets falling regularly throughout their innings.
Joe Root (pictured in 2014)
Mustafizur Rahman took three wickets for Bangladesh as South Africa fell short by 21 runs.[35] The following day saw

batsmen to score hundreds at the tournaments.[36]

Sri Lanka got off to a good start in their game against Afghanistan in Cardiff, reaching 144/1 in the 21st over. This was before three wickets in five balls from
Mohammad Nabi provided the catalyst for a collapse that saw Sri Lanka bowled out for 201. Kusal Perera top-scored for Sri Lanka with 78, while Nabi took
another wicket to finish with four for the innings. In reply, rain reduced Afghanistan's innings to 41 overs, but by the 14th over, they had already fallen to 57/5. A
partnership of 64 from Najibullah Zadran (who top scored with 43) and Gulbadin Naib steadied the innings for Afghanistan, but it was not enough, with Nuwan
Pradeep taking two quick wickets as Afghanistan fell 34 runs short of their revised target.[37]

Week 2
Week 2 started with a double-header being played at the Rose Bowl and The Oval. At the Rose Bowl, India started their campaign with a six-wicket win over
South Africa. Yuzvendra Chahal took four wickets as he helped restrict the batsmen to a total of 227. In reply, Rohit Sharma scored 122 not out to help India
chase the target with 15 balls to spare.[38] The other match on the Wednesday saw Bangladesh give New Zealand a scare, as the Black Caps went from 160/2 to
191/5 chasing 244, before getting home with three overs to spare. Ross Taylor top scored for New Zealand in the run-chase with 82, while Matt Henry was the
pick of the bowlers in the match with four wickets.[39]

In Nottingham, Australia had an early batting collapse to fall to 38/4 early in their innings. Half-centuries from Steve Smith and Nathan Coulter-Nile helped
Australia to recover, before they were bowled out for 288. In response, Chris Gayle had two overturned decisions go his way before he was dismissed. Despite a
68 from Shai Hope, Australia won by 15 runs off the back of a five-wicket haul by Mitchell Starc.[40] After the Friday match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in
Bristol was abandoned due to rain,[41] the Saturday matches were played in nearby Cardiff and Taunton. At Cardiff, Jason Roy made the highest score of the
tournament so far, with 153, as he was named man of the match in England's 106-run victory over Bangladesh.[42] In Taunton, a five-wicket haul from Kiwi
bowler James Neesham led New Zealand to their third consecutive win, with a seven-wicket victory over Afghanistan.[43]

The final completed match of the week saw India defeat Australia by 36 runs at The Oval. Batting first, India targeted Marcus Stoinis and Adam Zampa's
bowling with a combined total of 113 runs coming from their 13 overs, as India scored 352/5. Shikhar Dhawan top-scored for India with 117, while Stoinis was
the only bowler to take more than one wicket. In the run chase, Australia were behind the required run rate for much of their innings, despite half-centuries from
David Warner, Steve Smith and Alex Carey, and were bowled out for 316, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah taking three wickets each.[44] The final two
games of the week were washed out. Only 7.2 overs of play was possible in the fixture between South Africa and the West Indies,[45] while the match between
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka was abandoned without the toss taking place.[46]

Week 3
The third week of the World Cup saw Australia open with a 146-run stand between David Warner and Aaron Finch, with Warner going on to get a century.
Pakistan fought back into the innings, with Mohammad Amir taking five wickets, which restricted Australia to 307.[47] In response, Pakistan could not get a
partnership established with regular wickets coming from Australia; Pat Cummins finished his 10 overs with figures of 3/33. Sarfaraz Ahmed and Wahab Riaz
tried to get Pakistan the victory with a quick-fire 64-run partnership, but it was not enough, with Starc taking two of the final three wickets in the 41-run
victory.[48] After a fourth wash-out of the World Cup in Nottingham,[49] Joe Root scored his second century of the tournament and took two wickets in
England's eight-wicket victory over the West Indies at Southampton.[50] But the English victory was soured with Jason Roy missing the next two games with a
hamstring injury after going off after the eighth over.[51]
South Africa recorded their first win of the tournament at Cardiff against Afghanistan, with Imran Tahir taking four wickets as Afghanistan were bowled out for
125. In reply, South Africa chased down their target for the loss of just one wicket.[52] The other match on Saturday at The Oval saw Aaron Finch and Mitchell
Starc guide Australia to an 87-run victory over Sri Lanka that sent them to the top of the table with eight points from five games.[53] The following day saw
rivals India and Pakistan face each other at Old Trafford. India scored 336/5 from their 50 overs, which included a man-of-the-match performance of 140 runs
from Rohit Sharma. In response, Pakistan got off to a good start and were 117/1 at one stage before Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets in three balls[A] to turn the
tide for India, helping them to an 89-run victory via the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method.[54]

Monday saw Bangladesh defeat the West Indies by seven wickets at the County Ground in Taunton. This was thanks to a century from Bangladesh all-rounder
Shakib Al Hasan, who scored 124 from 99 balls as they chased down the target of 322. In the West Indies' innings, Shai Hope top-scored with 96 runs from 121
balls as he and Evin Lewis (70) got the West Indies to 321/8 from their 50 overs.[55] At Manchester, Eoin Morgan hit 17 sixes, a new world record in ODIs, as he
top-scored for England with 148, leading the hosts to a total of 397/6, the highest total of the tournament so far. Afghanistan's Rashid Khan conceded 110 runs
without taking any wickets, the most expensive bowling spell in Cricket World Cup history.[56] Hashmatullah Shahidi managed 76 in response for Afghanistan,
but they were always behind the required rate and fell 150 runs short, managing just 247 from their 50 overs.

Week 4
The fourth week of the World Cup began at Edgbaston with South Africa taking on New Zealand. With the match reduced to 49 overs each due to a wet outfield,
South Africa posted a total of 241/6 with some late hitting from Rassie van der Dussen, who was unbeaten on 67, while Lockie Ferguson was the best of the
bowlers with three wickets. In response, New Zealand were 137/5 at one stage, before a partnership from Kane Williamson (who went on to score a century) and
Colin de Grandhomme guided New Zealand to their fourth victory of the tournament.[57] The following day in Nottingham saw David Warner score 166, aided
by a score of 89 from Usman Khawaja. Australia's total of 381/5 proved out of reach for Bangladesh, despite Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim getting them
within 48 runs of the target.[58] Friday saw Lasith Malinga dismantle the English top order, as his four wickets helped Sri Lanka defend a total of 232 for their
second win of the tournament. Angelo Mathews top-scored for the Sri Lankans with an unbeaten 85, while Mark Wood was the best of the English bowlers with
3/40.[59]

The Saturday games saw the first elimination of the tournament, with Afghanistan's loss to India at Southampton meaning they could no longer qualify for the
knockout stage. Despite limiting India to 224 from their 50 overs, a Mohammed Shami hat-trick saw Afghanistan fall 11 runs short.[60] The other match on the
Saturday saw a close game between New Zealand and the West Indies at Manchester. After New Zealand scored 291/8, including 148 from Kane Williamson,
they had the West Indies reeling at 164/7 after 27 overs. The momentum, though, was swung to the West Indies, with Carlos Brathwaite hitting 101 runs
(including five sixes and nine fours) as he led them to within five runs of the target; however, his attempt to finish off the game with a maximum saw him caught
by Trent Boult at long on, as New Zealand won by only five runs.[61]

The following day saw South Africa eliminated from the World Cup after an 89-run performance from Haris Sohail got Pakistan to 308/7, before Shadab Khan
took three wickets in the South African run chase to give Pakistan a 49-run victory.[62] Monday saw Bangladesh record their third win of the tournament, a 62-
run victory over Afghanistan at the Rose Bowl, with Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan becoming the second player in World Cup history to take five wickets and
score a half-century in the same match.[B][64] Australia became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals as a five-wicket haul from Jason Behrendorff and
another four from Mitchell Starc guided them to a 64-run victory over England at Lord's.[65] Pakistan gave New Zealand their first loss of the World Cup at
Edgbaston with a Babar Azam century guiding them to a victory by six wickets.[66]

Week 5
The fifth week of the tournament started with India demolishing the West Indies by 125 runs at Old Trafford, with
Mohammed Shami taking four wickets as they bowled the West Indies out for only 143. The result also knocked the West
Indies out of the World Cup.[68] The following day saw play suspended in the match between South Africa and Sri Lanka
when bees swarmed the Riverside Ground pitch. Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla led the run chase with an opening
partnership of 175 runs, taking South Africa to a nine-wicket victory.[69] Saturday saw two matches played; at Lord's,
Starc became the first player to get three five-wicket hauls at a World Cup as he guided Australia to an 86-run victory
over New Zealand. This was after Australia were 92/5 in the 22nd over, before a century partnership between Khawaja
and Carly got the total to 243/9. New Zealand managed just 157 in response, Kane Williamson top-scoring with 40.[70]

The other match saw Afghanistan set Pakistan 228 for victory, with Shaheen Afridi taking four wickets. The run chase got
off to a shaky start with Fakhar Zaman being bowled for a duck. A partnership of 72 between Babar Azam and Imam-ul-
Haq got Pakistan off to a good start, but their progress was throttled by regular wickets, leaving them needing 46 runs
from the last five overs. Imad Wasim immediately hit 18 runs in the 46th over, and despite losing Shadab Khan to a run
out in the 47th, Imad Wasim and Wahab Riaz saw Pakistan home to a three-wicket victory with only two balls to
spare.[71] Sunday saw centuries from Jonny Bairstow and Rohit Sharma as England took a 31-run victory over India, who Shakib Al Hasan (pictured in
had been unbeaten up to that point.[72] 2010) became the only
cricketer in the World Cup
After Sri Lanka won the dead rubber against the West Indies at Chester-le-Street,[73] Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan made history with 600 runs and 10
history against India, as he became the first man to score 500 runs and take 10 wickets in a single World Cup.[74] This wickets.[67]
performance was not enough, though, with a Rohit Sharma century leading India into the semi-finals at their opponents'
expense.[75]

Week 6
The final round started with England taking on New Zealand, with the winner guaranteed a semi-final position; a Jonny Bairstow hundred saw England win by
119 runs and qualify for the semi-finals for the first time since 1992.[76] After the West Indies won the dead rubber against Afghanistan at Leeds,[77] Pakistan
needed to win their final match against Bangladesh by a record margin of over 300 runs at Lord's. They won, but only by 94 runs, allowing New Zealand to take
the fourth and final semi-final berth.[78] Despite Bangladesh losing the match, Shakib Al Hasan finished his tournament with 606 runs, surpassing Sachin
Tendulkar's record for the most runs in the group stage of a World Cup.[67]

The final two matches of the group stage were played on the Saturday to determine who would finish top of the group. At Leeds, India cruised to a seven-wicket
victory over Sri Lanka off the back of centuries from K. L. Rahul and Rohit Sharma as they chased down a target of 265 runs with seven wickets to spare.[79]
With South Africa defeating Australia by 10 runs, India finished top, sending Australia to a semi-final against England. A century from Faf du Plessis and a
further 95 from Rassie van der Dussen saw South Africa set the Australians a target of 326. In response, Australia lost Usman Khawaja early on to a hamstring
injury; he later returned but was dismissed for 18. David Warner scored 122, his third century of the tournament, but crucial wickets in the middle of the innings
gave South Africa the victory by only 10 runs.[80]

Semi-finals
The first semi-final between India and New Zealand was played at Old Trafford in Manchester. Batting first, New Zealand lost opener Martin Guptill in the
fourth over, having scored just one run. However, the Indians found wickets hard to come by after that, as Kane Williamson combined with Henry Nicholls and
Ross Taylor for partnerships of 68 and 65 respectively. Williamson managed 67 runs before he was the third man out in the 36th over, a score matched by Taylor
when rain stopped play in the 47th over with the score at 211/5 following the wickets of Neesham and De Grandhomme. No further play was possible on the day,
so the match went into its reserve day.[81] Taylor managed another seven runs to top-score for the Kiwis, who managed to get the score to 239/8 at the end of
their 50 overs. The Indian chase got off to a poor start with India falling to 5/3 in the fourth over, with the top three batsman all going for one run, then 24/4 after
10 overs. After a small partnership of 47 runs for the fifth wicket between Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja was joined by MS Dhoni for a
century partnership for the seventh wicket that left India needing 37 runs from the final three overs; however, a late-order collapse saw New Zealand take the last
four wickets for just 13 runs, sending them into their second consecutive World Cup final.[82]

The second semi-final saw England take on Australia at Edgbaston. Australia won the toss and chose to bat first, but lost three of their top four batsmen for
single-figure scores, two of them to Chris Woakes, to reduce them to 14/3 a ball into the seventh over. Wicketkeeper Alex Carey was promoted up the order due
to his recent form, but after getting his helmet knocked off by a Jofra Archer bouncer,[83] he recovered to score 46 before being caught by Adil Rashid. As
wickets continued to tumble at the other end, Steve Smith held his wicket to top-score with 85 as Australia were bowled out for 223 with Woakes and Rashid
being the best of the bowlers with three wickets apiece.[84] Chasing a target of 224, England took their time to get going, but were soon cruising towards victory,
reaching 124 before Jonny Bairstow was trapped LBW by Starc for the first wicket. Jason Roy went two overs later to a controversial decision, caught behind off
a bouncer that appeared not to touch his bat, but England had already used their review on Bairstow's wicket, and Roy departed for 85 off 65 balls. Nevertheless,
Joe Root and captain Eoin Morgan got the remaining runs needed to get the English home an eight-wicket victory and their first World Cup final since 1992.[85]

Group stage
The group stage format is a round-robin, where all 10 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. Teams earn two points for a win and one for a tie or no-result (a minimum of 20 overs per side is needed to constitute a
result). Matches in this stage have no reserve day set aside in case of bad weather. After four games in seven days were rained-off and complaints were made
about the lack of reserve days, the ICC chief executive, David Richardson, said that trying to include reserve days "would significantly increase the length of the
tournament and practically would be extremely complex to deliver".[86]

The top four teams from the group will progress to the knockout stage. If teams are tied on points, then the number of wins and then net run rate will be used to
separate them. A similar format was previously used in the 1992 Cricket World Cup, though that tournament featured nine teams instead of ten.

Following the 2019 Pulwama attack, several former Indian players and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) called for the boycott of the group
match fixture between India and Pakistan, wanting to ban the Pakistan team from playing in the tournament.[87][88][89] However, after conducting a board
meeting in Dubai, the ICC rejected the BCCI's proposal and confirmed that the scheduled match would go ahead as planned, despite the ongoing standoff
between the two nations.[90][91]

Knockout stage
The knockout stage started with semi-finals at Old Trafford and Edgbaston, the winners of each progressing to the final at Lord's. All three knockout games have
a reserve day.[93]
On 25 June 2019, Australia became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals, after beating England at Lord's.[94] India became the second team to qualify for
the semi-finals, after they defeated Bangladesh at Edgbaston on 2 July 2019.[95] The following day saw tournament hosts England become the third team to
qualify for the semi-finals, after they beat New Zealand at the Riverside Ground.[96] New Zealand were the fourth and final team to qualify for the semi-finals,
after Pakistan were unable to increase their net run rate sufficiently enough in their match against Bangladesh at Lord's.[97]

The first semi-final was played between India and New Zealand at Old Trafford, while the second semi-final was played between Australia and England at
Edgbaston.[98] If a reserve day comes into play for either semi-final, the match will be resumed from the previous day and not restarted.[99] If the match ends in
a tie, a Super Over will be used to determine which team progresses to the final.[99] In the event of no play on the scheduled day and reserve day, the team that
finished higher in the group stage will progress to the final.[99]

Broadcasting
The ICC agreed deals for broadcast and digital distribution on a range of platforms, including television, radio and online streaming.[102] Live television in the
host nation was originally available only to subscribers of Sky Sports, but during the tournament negotiations with the ICC[103] led to the final being shown free-
to-air on Channel 4 and More4,[104] but only if England were finalists.[105] The broadcaster in the other finalist nation, Sky Sport (New Zealand), decided to
also air the final on its co-owned free-to-air channel Prime.[106]

The following networks bought rights to broadcast the tournament live:
