The '''ICC Cricket World Cup 2019''' was held in [[England]] and [[Wales]]. The tournament was the league tournament in the group stage. It was a knockout after the group matches. The top four teams from each group qualified for the quarter finals.
The '''2019 ICC Cricket World Cup''' was the 12th [[Cricket World Cup]], a quadrennial [[One Day International]] (ODI) [[cricket]] tournament contested by men's national teams and organised by the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC). The tournament was hosted between 30 May and 14 July across 10 venues in [[England]] and a single venue in [[Wales]]. It was the fifth time that England had hosted the World Cup,  while for Wales it was their third.


The Schedule for the quarter finals will be as follows :
The tournament was contested by 10 teams, a decrease from 14 teams in the previous edition, with the format of the tournament changing to a single round-robin group with the top four teams qualifying through to the knockout stage. After six weeks of round-robin matches, which saw four games not have a [[Result (cricket)#No result|result]], [[India national cricket team|India]], [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]], [[England cricket team|England]] and [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]] finished as the top four, with [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] missing out on [[net run rate]].

:A2 VS B3
:B1 VS A4     
:B2 VS A3


Where A and B are the group names of the teams. And 1,2,3,4 are the positions of teams after the league matches. It is expected that 16 teams will participate in this tournament. Eight teams will participate as permanent members who are already qualified and the others as associate members, who will play the qualifier matches.
In the knockout stage, England and New Zealand won their respective semi-finals to qualify for the [[2019 Cricket World Cup Final|final]], which was played at [[Lord's]] in London. The final ended in a [[Result (cricket)#Tie|tie]] after the match ended with both teams scoring 241 [[run (cricket)|runs]], followed by the first [[Super Over]] in an ODI; England won the title, their first, on the boundary countback rule after the Super Over also finished level. The total attendance throughout the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup was 752,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thestadiumbusiness.com/2020/03/04/world-cup-impact-report-highlights-rise-cricket-tourism/|title=WORLD CUP IMPACT REPORT HIGHLIGHTS RISE OF CRICKET TOURISM|date=4 March 2020|work=TheStadiumBusiness|access-date=29 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210129224819/https://www.thestadiumbusiness.com/2020/03/04/world-cup-impact-report-highlights-rise-cricket-tourism/|archive-date=29 January 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>

The date and venue of the matches are yet to be declared but will soon be decided in the coming year.
==Hosting==
The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England and Wales withdrew their bid to host the [[2015 Cricket World Cup]], which was played in Australia and New Zealand. It was the fifth Cricket World Cup played in England, following the [[1975 Cricket World Cup|1975]], [[1979 Cricket World Cup|1979]], [[1983 Cricket World Cup|1983]] and [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999]] World Cups. Wales also hosted matches at the 1983 and 1999 tournaments, the latter also seeing matches played in Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/4956010.stm|title=England lands Cricket World Cup|work=[[BBC Sport]]|date=30 April 2006|access-date=30 April 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060618093910/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/4956010.stm|archive-date=18 June 2006|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/245814.html|title=England awarded 2019 World Cup|website=[[ESPNcricinfo]]|date=30 April 2006|access-date=30 April 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110101145331/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/245814.html|archive-date=1 January 2011|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Group stage==
{{main|2019 Cricket World Cup group stage}}
 
The initial stage of the tournament saw the 10 teams grouped together for a single round-robin, in which each team played the other nine once for a total of 45 matches. Teams earned two points for a win and one for a tie or no-result (a minimum of 20 overs per side was needed to constitute a result).<ref>{{cite web|first=Dave|last=Middleton|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/world-cup-tv-guide-commentators-fixtures-venues-teams-standings-live-score-stream-highlights-kayo/2019-05-21|title=Fans' guide to the 2019 World Cup|website=cricket.com.au|date=21 May 2019|access-date=17 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190530005432/https://www.cricket.com.au/news/world-cup-tv-guide-commentators-fixtures-venues-teams-standings-live-score-stream-highlights-kayo/2019-05-21|archive-date=30 May 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Matches in this stage had no reserve day set aside in the event of bad weather. After four games in seven days were rained off and complaints were made about the lack of reserve days, the ICC chief executive, [[Dave Richardson (South African cricketer)|Dave Richardson]], said that trying to include reserve days "would significantly increase the length of the tournament and practically would be extremely complex to deliver".<ref>{{cite web|first=Alan|last=Gardner|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/26949063/your-guide-soggy-scenario|title=World Cup weather watch: your guide to the soggy scenario|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=11 June 2019|access-date=15 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190615045100/http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/26949063/your-guide-soggy-scenario|archive-date=15 June 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
The top four teams from the group stage progressed to the knockout stage. If teams were tied on points, then the number of wins and then the [[net run rate]] was used to separate them.

The score proved too much for India, despite [[Rohit Sharma]] and [[Virat Kohli]] scoring 102 and 66 respectively, while the returning England bowler [[Liam Plunkett]] took 3/55.<ref>{{cite web|first=Deivarayan|last=Muthu|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/report/1144520/england-vs-india-38th-match-icc-cricket-world-cup-2019|title=Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes help end India's unbeaten run|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=30 June 2019|access-date=7 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190701220741/https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/report/1144520/england-vs-india-38th-match-icc-cricket-world-cup-2019|archive-date=1 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Sri Lanka won the dead rubber against the West Indies at Chester-le-Street, where both [[Avishka Fernando]] and [[Nicholas Pooran]] scored their maiden ODI centuries.<ref>{{cite news|first=Tanya|last=Aldred|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/01/sri-lanka-west-indies-cricket-world-cup-match-report|title=Avishka Fernando hits high notes and Sri Lanka hold nerve against West Indies|newspaper=The Guardian|date=2 July 2019|access-date=7 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190704210528/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/01/sri-lanka-west-indies-cricket-world-cup-match-report|archive-date=4 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Bangladesh's [[Shakib Al Hasan]] made history against India, as he became the first man to score 500 runs and take 10 wickets in a single World Cup.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/icc-cricket-world-cup/news/shakib-al-hasan-world-cup-2019-records-batting-bowling-allrounder-new-zealand-scott-styris/article28263851.ece|title=Shakib Al Hasan first to 500 runs and 10 wickets in single World Cup|work=[[Sportstar]]|date=2 July 2019|access-date=2 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200519165203/https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/icc-cricket-world-cup/news/shakib-al-hasan-world-cup-2019-records-batting-bowling-allrounder-new-zealand-scott-styris/article28263851.ece|archive-date=19 May 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> This performance was not enough, though, with a Rohit Sharma century leading India into the semi-finals at their opponents' expense.<ref name=IndiaQ>{{cite news|first=Tim|last=Wigmore|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2019/07/02/bangladesh-vs-india-cricket-world-cup-2019-live-score-latest/|title=India qualify for Cricket World Cup semi-finals after Rohit Sharma's ton against Bangladesh|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=2 July 2019|access-date=7 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190707040434/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2019/07/02/bangladesh-vs-india-cricket-world-cup-2019-live-score-latest/|archive-date=7 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Semi-finals===
The first semi-final between India and New Zealand was played at Old Trafford in Manchester. Batting first, New Zealand lost opener [[Martin Guptill]] in the fourth over, having scored just one run. However, the Indians found wickets hard to come by after that, as Kane Williamson combined with [[Henry Nicholls (cricketer)|Henry Nicholls]] and Ross Taylor for partnerships of 68 and 65 respectively. Williamson managed 67 runs before he was the third man out in the 36th over, a score matched by Taylor when rain stopped play in the 47th over with New Zealand at 211/5 following the wickets of Neesham and De Grandhomme. No further play was possible on the day, so the match went into its reserve day.<ref>{{cite news|first=Vic|last=Marks|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/09/india-new-zealand-world-cup-semi-final-kane-williamson|title=India v New Zealand semi-final to resume on Wednesday after rain delay|newspaper=The Guardian|date=10 July 2019|access-date=11 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190711044705/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/09/india-new-zealand-world-cup-semi-final-kane-williamson|archive-date=11 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Taylor managed another seven runs to top-score for the Kiwis, who managed to get the score to 239/8 at the end of their 50 overs. The Indian chase got off to a poor start with India falling to 5/3 in the fourth over, with the top three batsmen all going for one run each, then 24/4 after 10 overs. After a small partnership of 47 runs for the fifth wicket between [[Rishabh Pant]] and [[Hardik Pandya]], [[Ravindra Jadeja]] was joined by [[MS Dhoni]] for a century partnership for the seventh wicket that left India needing 37 runs from the final three overs. This game turned out to be MS Dhoni's final game for India, he retired from all formats in August 2020. Once Dhoni had gone (run out), a late-order collapse saw New Zealand take the last four wickets for just 13 runs, sending them into their second consecutive World Cup final.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/india-s-world-cup-2019-dream-over-go-down-fighting-new-zealand-semis-105208|title=India's World Cup 2019 dream over, go down fighting to New Zealand in semis|work=[[The News Minute]]|date=10 July 2019|access-date=11 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190711044702/https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/india-s-world-cup-2019-dream-over-go-down-fighting-new-zealand-semis-105208|archive-date=11 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Final===
{{main|2019 Cricket World Cup Final}}
After New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first, Henry Nicholls' first half-century of the tournament and a further 47 from wicket-keeper [[Tom Latham (cricketer)|Tom Latham]] helped the Kiwis to a total of 241/8 from their 50 overs, as Chris Woakes and [[Liam Plunkett]] each secured three wickets for the hosts.<ref>{{cite news|first=Andrew|last=McMurtry|url=https://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/world-cup/cricket-world-cup-2019-england-defeat-new-zealand-on-boundary-countback-to-win-the-world-cup/news-story/1924156e23ba0e5f6cb307df301b42c3|title=Cricket World Cup 2019 – England defeat New Zealand on boundary countback to win the World Cup|work=news.com.au|date=15 July 2019|access-date=15 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190714231052/https://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/world-cup/cricket-world-cup-2019-england-defeat-new-zealand-on-boundary-countback-to-win-the-world-cup/news-story/1924156e23ba0e5f6cb307df301b42c3|archive-date=14 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Defending a middling score, the New Zealand bowlers bowled effectively, hampering England's top order, with only Jonny Bairstow managing more than a start with 36. With the loss of their top order, England fell to 86/4 in the 24th over, however, a century partnership between Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler for the fifth wicket got them back into the game before Buttler was caught on 59. However, with five overs to play, England still required another 46 runs, and the bottom order were forced to bat more aggressively. Stokes managed to farm the strike and, more crucially, score runs, leaving England needing 15 to win from the final over, two wickets still in hand. After two [[Glossary of cricket terms#dot ball|dot balls]], Stokes first planted a six into the stands at deep mid-wicket; on the next ball, the fielder's throw deflected off Stokes' bat as he was coming back for a second run and went to the boundary for an additional four; umpire Kumar Dharmasena awarded six runs for that delivery, although one interpretation of ''[[Laws of Cricket]]'' was that it should have resulted in only five runs being awarded as one of the runs should have not counted as the batsmen had not crossed during the attempted second run at the moment the fielder threw the ball in.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/48991962|title=England Cricket World Cup win: 'Extra run' claims brushed off by Ashley Giles|work=BBC Sport|date=15 July 2019|access-date=4 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190721111216/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/48991962|archive-date=21 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> The final two deliveries of the over saw England get a run each, but losing their last two wickets going for a second run each time, leaving the scores tied at 241 with Stokes left unbeaten with 84.<ref>{{cite news|first=Vic|last=Marks|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/14/england-new-zealand-cricket-world-cup-final-match-report-super-over|title=England win Cricket World Cup after super-over drama against New Zealand|newspaper=The Guardian|date=14 July 2019|access-date=17 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190716093839/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/14/england-new-zealand-cricket-world-cup-final-match-report-super-over|archive-date=16 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
With the scores tied, the match went to a [[Super Over]]. England returned Stokes and Buttler to the crease, and they handled Trent Boult's bowling to accumulate 15 runs without loss. For New Zealand, Martin Guptill and James Neesham went in to face Jofra Archer needing at least 16 runs to claim the title. After a steady accumulation of runs, including a wide and a six, left New Zealand needing two from the final delivery, Guptill hit the ball out to deep mid-wicket and tried to scamper back for the winning run, but Roy's throw in to Buttler was a good one with Guptill being well short of his crease. New Zealand finished with 15 runs to tie the Super Over, but England's superior boundary count in the match and Super Over combined (26 to New Zealand's 17) meant they claimed the World Cup title for the first time after three previous final defeats in [[1979 Cricket World Cup|1979]], [[1987 Cricket World Cup|1987]] and 1992.<ref>{{cite web|first=Alan|last=Gardner|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/report/1144530/england-vs-new-zealand-final-icc-cricket-world-cup-2019|title=Epic final tied, Super Over tied, England win World Cup on boundary count|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=14 July 2019|access-date=17 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190715190820/https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/report/1144530/england-vs-new-zealand-final-icc-cricket-world-cup-2019|archive-date=15 July 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> This game has gone down in history as one of the greatest ever finals, and games, in cricketing history.
