The World Cup kicks off on 19 February. India will play Bangladesh in this opener. We will witness 14 teams instead of 16 in this tenth World Cup. And, in the revised format we will see each team playing least 6 matches even if they ruled out of tournament due to early defeats. Bangladesh will be for the first time co-hosting a World Cup. India will be hosting 29 of the total 49 planned matches. And, the final is going to be played at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai!! I wish good luck for India to prepare and host the trophy well!
