2023 Cricket World Cup knockout stage
The knockout stage of the 2023 Cricket World Cup consisted of two semi-finals, played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on 15 November and Eden Gardens in Kolkata on 16 November, and a final, at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 19 November. The ICC stated that if Pakistan had qualified for the semi-finals, they would have played at Eden Gardens. As India qualified for the semi-finals and Pakistan did not, they played at Wankhede Stadium. All knockout matches had a reserve day.[1]
Qualification
The host India was the first team to qualify for the semi-finals after their mammoth 302-run win against Sri Lanka, their seventh successive win in the World Cup.[2]
South Africa became the second team to qualify for the semi-finals after Pakistan defeated New Zealand on 4 November; however, with that win, Pakistan kept their hope of the knockout stage alive.[3]
India secured the top place amongst the semi-finalists after they beat South Africa by 243 runs on 5 November at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, accumulating 16 points in 8 matches, as no other team would be able to gather as many points as India in their remaining matches.[4]
Australia became the third team to qualify for the semi-finals after defeating Afghanistan on 7 November, sharing equal points with South Africa, and the two sides played against each other in the semi-finals.[5]
