Wankhede Stadium to host five World Cup 2023 matches (x.com)
The 2023 World Cup is set to make its way to the Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai for match number 20 of the tournament. The iconic venue will host the high-profile game between defending champions England and a high-flying South African unit on October 21, and the contest itself marks the first of five World Cup 2023 matches to be played at the stadium.
The last time Wankhede Stadium hosted an ICC World Cup match was none other than the final of the 2011 event between hosts India and Sri Lanka.
As the venue braces itself to host the much-anticipated World Cup 2023 England vs South Africa match, let us see the overall ground stats of the stadium in ODI cricket.
