Stadium Road, Motera, Sabarmati, Ahmedabad – 380005
About
The largest sports stadium in the world will set the stage for the tournament opener, host an India vs Pakistan thriller and proudly present the World Cup’s climax final. The 132,000-capacity venue, renovated in 2021, is no stranger to history and a big occasion — in March 1987, Sunil Gavaskar became the first batter to breach the 10,000-Test run mark at the venue. Decades later, the stadium has hosted IPL finals and, in 2011, the last time that a World Cup was played in India, the hosts broke Australia’s streak of making the final of every ODI World Cup since 1996.

Barabati Stadium, Cuttack - 753005
About
The Barabati Stadium is one of the older grounds in India, having hosted several touring sides – including the MCC, the West Indies team and the Australians - before it hosted its first international match. It hosted only the third one-day international in this country, in January 1982, when India put it across England by five wickets to lift the series 2-1. It hosted its first ever Test match five years later where India played hosts to Sri Lanka. Though it isn’t one of the regular Test venues anymore, it continues to enjoy the status of international venue and hosts One-Day Internationals regularly. It also hosted the 2013 Women’s Cricket World Cup.
