ICC ODI World Cup 2027 — South Africa, Zimbabwe & Namibia
The next Cricket World Cup is the 2027 ICC Men’s ODI World Cup, scheduled from 8 October to 13 November 2027.

South Africa serves as the primary host, with 12 venues across the three countries.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Tournament | 14th ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup (ODI) |
| Dates | 8 October — 13 November 2027 |
| Host Countries | South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia |
| Teams | 14 nations |
| Matches | 55 matches across 12 venues |
| Defending Champions | Australia (won 2023 in India) |
Australia enter the 2027 World Cup as defending champions after their remarkable triumph in India in 2023. Pat Cummins’ side will be among the favourites to retain the trophy and extend their record to seven titles. Betting markets for the 2027 Cricket World Cup winner are expected to open in early 2027.
Key contenders: India (dominant at home in recent years, will be hungry after hosting the 2023 edition), England (2019 champions), South Africa (perennial contenders with home advantage), and New Zealand (consistent semi-finalists). The South African conditions — pace and bounce on hard, fast pitches — will suit teams with strong seam bowling attacks.

- 2023 — defeated India in Ahmedabad (Travis Head’s 137 sealed it)
The 2027 World Cup in South Africa will see Australia attempt to become the first team to win back-to-back ODI World Cups since they achieved it themselves in 2003 and 2007. Cricket world cup odds for Australia’s defence are expected to be available from mid-2027.
