How does the ODI World Cup 2027 schedule work?
The tournament begins with a Super Series among three teams, which will be decided by the 10-team qualifying tournament . The winner of that tournament will gain direct entry into the group stage, while the runners-up and the two losing semi-finalists will play the Super Series from October 2 to October 6 in Windhoek, Namibia - also a co-host - where the winner will become the final team to qualify for the group stage.
Once the 12 teams are finalised, they will be divided into two groups of six teams each. Group A will feature Afghanistan, Australia, India, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe, along with Qualifier A, while Group B consists of New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, England, Bangladesh, and Qualifier B.
After the group stage, the top three teams from each group will move to the Super 7, with the seventh team being the best-placed fourth-placed team across both groups. The top four teams after the Super 7 stage will advance to the semi-finals, with the top two advancing to the final at The Wanderers, Johannesburg - the venue of the 2003 final between India and Australia.
