They have an excellent squad but as shown against Australia in T20s, they can fall apart easily as well.

India Cricket Schedule 2023 Cricket World Cup: List of India’s World Cup Fixtures
The ODI Super league is over, qualifying tournaments are done and dusted, and the World Cup is finally upon us. Since last time, there were a few T20 World Cups, a pandemic, and like 5 IPLs in between.
The format of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is a round robin format, same as 2019.
1. India vs. Australia – Oct 8, 2023
Ind vs Aus 2023 ODI World Cup Details
Venue: Chennai
Stadium: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk
Time: 2:00 PM Local (8:30 AM GMT)
Ind vs Aus 2023 Preview
India’s opening match will be a cracker of a contest.
India’s World Cup campaign kicks off with a high-octane clash against the defending champions, Australia. This match is expected to set the tone for the rest of India’s campaign and it will be interesting to see how India’s top order fares against Australia’s world-class bowling attack. With the likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood, Australia’s fast bowlers will give India’s batsmen a testing time. However, India’s strong batting lineup, led by Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill, is more than capable of handling the Australian attack. This match will be a true test of both teams’ strength and should not be missed.
Both teams are dealing with injury concerns and the first match will set the tone for the rest of the World Cup.
India’s second match sees them take on Afghanistan, a relatively new entrant into the world of cricket. While Afghanistan’s cricketing pedigree is still growing, they have shown glimpses of their potential in recent years. India is the clear favorite in this match and is expected to dominate.
However, take Afghanistan lightly at your own peril. They have built depth outside of Rashid Khan & Mohammad Nabi. On a good day, Farooqi, Gurbaz, and Najibullah Zadran can blow any team away.
It’s the mother of all cricket battles – India vs. Pakistan! This match is the most anticipated clash of the World Cup and will have fans on the edge of their seats. India has had the upper hand over Pakistan in recent years, winning the last seven encounters between the two nations. However, a World Cup match is a completely different ball game, and Pakistan is more than capable of pulling off an upset (Pakistan are more settled coming into this World Cup and are the #1 ICC ODI side). Expect some fireworks on the field as both teams look to outdo each other.
Next up, India takes on Bangladesh in what is expected to be a closely contested match. Bangladesh wre one of the Top 2 teams in the ODI Super league. They have had captaincy issues, but this is the best chance for a story like Sri Lanka 1996 to repeat itself.
Bangladesh has been improving steadily over the years and has given some of the top teams a run for their money. India can ill afford to take Bangladesh lightly and will need to be at their best to come out on top. This match will be a test of India’s ability to adapt to different conditions and play against a well-rounded team.
Stadium: Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium
Time: 2:00 PM Local (8:30 AM GMT)
Ind vs NZ 2023 Preview
India’s next opponent is New Zealand, a team that has been a thorn in India’s side in recent times. In other words, India’s nemesis. New Zealand has beaten India in their last two encounters, including the 2019 World Cup semifinal. India will be looking for revenge and will be hoping to set the record straight in this match. Expect a closely fought contest as both teams look to assert their dominance.
6. India vs. England – Oct 29, 2023
Ind vs Eng 2023 ODI World Cup Details
Venue: Lucknow
Stadium: Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium
Time: 2:00 PM Local (8:30 AM GMT)
Ind vs Eng 2023 Preview
Next up is England, a giant in today’s white ball cricket. England’s aggressive batting and strong bowling attack will pose a stiff challenge for India, but the Indian team is more than capable of matching England in all departments. This match could be a potential semifinal preview and both teams will be looking to lay down a marker.
Lets just say that if India win, that’ll considered an upset.
India’s final Asian opponent in the group stages is Sri Lanka, a team that has been struggling for form in recent times. India has had the upper hand over Sri Lanka in their last few encounters and is expected to win this one too.
Wanindu Hasaranga in the form of his life, but Sri Lanka have more injury concerns than even India.
8. India vs. South Africa – Nov 5, 2023
Ind vs SA 2023 ODI World Cup Details
Venue: Kolkata
Stadium: Eden Gardens
Time: 2:00 PM Local (8:30 AM GMT)
Ind vs SA 2023 Preview
Next, India takes on South Africa, a team that has been rebuilding after a disappointing World Cup campaign in 2019. This is one of the most settled ODI units South Africa has had in a long while. Expecting this to be a close encounter. Super Over, anyone?
Assuming India makes it to the knockout stages, their first opponent will be Netherlands, a team that has qualified for the World Cup for the first time in over a decade. India is expected to win this match comfortably and progress to the knockout stages. This match will be a good opportunity for India to iron out any flaws in their game and prepare for the tougher challenges ahead.
If India do not make it to the semis, the young Netherlands have the potential to take down the host.
