What is the format?
The precise structure of the cricket World Cup has always been open to tinkering and the version in place on this occasion is one of the more straightforward, though it does feel somewhat bloated. All 10 sides will compete in a round-robin group stage comprising 45 fixtures. The top four will then advance to semi-finals at Old Trafford and Edgbaston before the Lord’s final on July 14.
