On Thursday, Netherlands became the second and final team to qualify for the ICC World Cup 2023, scheduled to take place in India in October-November. Sri Lanka had already qualified for the tournament last week, and Netherlands defeated Scotland in a virtual semi-final by four wickets to seal the remaining berth. With all the teams in the World Cup now confirmed, the tournament is set for a blockbuster opener on October 5 when previous edition's finalists, England and New Zealand meet in Ahmedabad.

India's match against Sri Lanka takes place on November 2 at the Wankhede Stadium, which will be a rematch of the iconic 2011 World Cup final, which, interestingly, also took place at the same venue.

Netherlands, meanwhile, meet India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on November 11.

Take a look at India's full schedule for the 2023 World Cup, with the updated qualifying teams:

India vs Australia, Oct 8, Chennai

Team India will be eyeing a first ICC title since 2013, when the side had lifted the Champions Trophy under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Since winning the World Cup in 2011, India endured semi-final defeats in both, the 2015 and 2019 editions of the tournament.

This year, India will be playing in the World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma; this will be the opener's first ODI WC as captain.
