The biggest showdown in cricket, the ODI World Cup, will start on October 5 when defending champions England and finalists New Zealand lock horns against each other in Ahmedabad. Here’s where you can watch World Cup 2023 in the United Kingdom (UK), including live streaming and telecast details.

A 15-member England squad under the leadership of Jos Buttler has flown to India to defend their world title. With England being the only team featuring from the UK, all eyes will be on Buttler’s men.

Ben Stokes’ return from ODI retirement has bolstered their team, although he could miss the opener against New Zealand. The exclusion of Jason Roy, despite naming him in the provisional squads, shows how ruthless they can be with their selections. Harry Brook has come in his place at the last minute. Their 3-1 series victory over New Zealand has done a world of good to their confidence going into the tournament.

Ten sides will fight for the coveted trophy in a round-robin format across 48 matches. The final will be played on November 19. The opener and the summit clash will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat.
