Teams in distinct Pools: There are 4 pools total, with 4 teams in each group. Pool A includes countries like Australia, Argentina, France, and South Africa. India, the host nation, is put in Group D with Wales, England, and Spain, thus it won’t be simple for it to advance through the group stage.

India will begin their campaign against Spain on January 13, 2023 at 7 p.m. at the Birsa Munda Stadium in Rourkela, and then play their next two matches against England and Wales on January 15, and January 19, 2023 at 7 p.m., respectively.

Indians have only ever won the World Cup once, in 1975, and they’ll be hoping to make up for the 46-year gap by taking home the trophy at the huge event.
