2023 Cricket World Cup Betting

The forthcoming 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup represents the 13th instalment of the tournament. This quadrennial event features One Day International (ODI) cricket and involves the participation of men's national teams under the organistion of the International Cricket Council (ICC). 

Set to take place in India, the tournament is scheduled for the period spanning October 5th to November 19th, 2023. Initially slated for February to March 2023, the event's timing was rescheduled due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2023 Cricket World Cup Format

The 2023 Cricket World Cup will feature 10 teams and will have a round robin stage followed by the knockouts. All of the 10 sides will face each other in the round robin, with a win being worth two points. No result will mean one point each. After this stage, the top four teams will qualify for the semi-finals, with the two winners of those then facing off in the final.

2023 Cricket World Cup Teams

Ten teams will compete for the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, which takes place every four years. Let’s take a look at the sides who’ve qualified for India 2023. 

India

ODI ranking: 3

World Cup wins: 2

Hosts India will be many bookmakers’ favourite to win the World Cup. Home advantage is critical in cricket; India are used to slow, spinning pitches, humid conditions, and will have an army of enthusiastic fans supporting them everywhere they go. They have won the World Cup twice – in 1983 and 2011, the latter tournament also taking place on home soil. They finished top of the group stage at the 2019 tournament but lost to New Zealand in the semi-final. The India squad is full of superstars, including Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. 

Pakistan

ODI ranking: 2

World Cup wins: 1

Pakistan will be similarly suited to the playing conditions in India, and Cricket World Cup betting odds will naturally reflect this. Pakistan have become a major threat at both ODI and T20 World Cups in recent years, though their only ODI World Cup triumph came in 1992, where they beat England in the final. At the 2019 tournament, Pakistan finished fifth in the group stage, missing out on a semi-final spot on net run rate. Babar Azam is the Pakistan captain and the number one-ranked ODI batsman in the world; other major players include wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, opening bowler Shaheen Afridi, and spinner Shadab Khan.

Australia

ODI ranking: 1

World Cup wins: 5

With five World Cup wins, Australia is by far the most successful team in the history of ODI cricket. The Green and Golds won three World Cups in a row between 1999-2007 during the golden era of Australian cricket, featuring greats such as Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting and Glenn McGrath. Their last victory came in 2015, but they were taken apart by England in the semi-finals in 2019, losing by eight wickets. Although they’re the number one ranked side in ODIs, Australia’s squad is an ageing one. Steve Smith, Pat Cummins and power-hitting Glenn Maxwell are three players to watch, while Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc currently occupy the number one and two spots in the ODI bowling rankings.

England

ODI ranking: 5

World Cup wins: 1

England are the reigning champions, winning the 2019 final at Lord’s against New Zealand in what is remembered as the most thrilling ODI match of all-time. Although their ranking could be higher, England possess an embarrassment of riches in terms of one-day talent – they are yet to announce their squad, with uncertainty remaining over a number of positions, not least since Ben Stokes ended his ODI retirement to play in India. Other key players include talismanic batsman Joe Root, spinner Adil Rashid, and wicket keeper and captain Jos Buttler. 

New Zealand

ODI ranking: 4

World Cup wins: 0

Undoubtedly the unluckiest team in world cricket, New Zealand have been runners-up at the last two tournaments. Their defeat to England came in a super-over – one that only took place due to an umpiring error which wrongly afforded England an extra run during their innings. Much of the New Zealand squad will be playing in their last World Cup, so there’s a sense that this could be the Black Caps’ last shot at victory for some time. Kane Williamson is one of the best batsmen in the world, and Trent Boult one of the best bowlers. Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips and Jimmy Neesham can all be destructive with the bat.

South Africa

ODI ranking: 6

World Cup wins: 0

South Africa have threatened to win the World Cup on many occasions, but finished 7th in the 2019 group stage with their power beginning to wane. Still, they possess a deadly bowling attack, spearheaded by Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje – one of the fastest bowlers in the world. It’s their batting that’s let them down in recent years: wicket keeper Quinton de Kock, one of the finest one-day batsmen of the last decade, is playing in his last tournament before retirement. Can he go out on a bang? 

Bangladesh

ODI ranking: 7

World Cup wins: 0

Bangladesh have emerged as a legitimate threat to the big teams in recent years, and will again be well-suited to Indian playing conditions. Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal have 472 ODI caps between them; Shakib is currently top of the ODI all-rounder rankings – the captain will play a major part in any Bangladesh success at the World Cup. Their best performance came in 2015 where they reached the knockout rounds for the first time. In 2019 they finished 8th in the group stage. 

Sri Lanka

ODI ranking: 8

World Cup wins: 1

Sri Lanka have slipped down the rankings since the retirement of legends such as Muttiah Muralitharan, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and Lasith Malinga. The current crop require qualification to confirm their place at the World Cup these days, but they’ll again be familiar with Indian conditions. They finished 6th at the last tournament and will need players like Nissanka, Karunaratne and Asalanka to score plenty of runs if they’re to get out of the group in India.

Afghanistan

ODI ranking: 9

World Cup wins: 0

Although they have a current ODI ranking of 9th, Afghanistan have the potential to cause a real upset, and I would keep a close eye on cricket World Cup betting odds during their games. Mujeeb and Rashid Khan are two of the most-feared spinners in one-day cricket, applying pressure to opposition and taking wickets throughout an innings. This will be Afghanistan’s third World Cup appearance – they lost every game in 2019, but conditions will be in their favour this time around.

Netherlands

ODI ranking: 14

World Cup wins: 0

This is the Netherlands’ fifth appearance at the World Cup, having qualified in 1996, 2003, 2007 and 2011. They edged out Ireland, Scotland, Zimbabwe and two-time World Cup winners the West Indies during qualification, so they have some talent in their ranks. Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru and Logan van Beek all performed heroics during that campaign.

Factor in the Conditions

We’ve mentioned how the conditions can play a critical role in cricket. Teams from the Asian subcontinent are at an inherent advantage for this tournament, because they’re more familiar with the playing conditions. That being said, many players at the tournament have spent extensive time playing in India in the IPL, so the conditions shouldn’t come as a shock to them. The weather conditions on the day can also significantly influence the outcome of the match.

Gamble Responsibly

It’s always important to gamble responsibly, which means, among other things, only betting what you’re comfortable losing. If you think you or someone you know requires professional help, you can contact the following organisations:

• The NHS – any addiction is recognised as a mental health illness and can therefore be treated on the NHS. Contacting your GP is likely to be the best place to start. 
• GamCare – A registered charity directly targeting problem gamblers, offering a range of treatment services. 
• GAMSTOP – GAMSTOP’s self-exclusion tool is now included on the homepage of every UKGC-licensed betting site. It can be used to lock customers out of their gambling accounts for periods at a time.
