2019 Cricket World Cup group stage


The 2019 Cricket World Cup group stage was played in a round-robin league format, with all 10 teams playing each other once in a single group, resulting in a total of 45 matches being played. The top four teams from the group progressed to the knockout stage. A similar format was previously used in the 1992 Cricket World Cup.
On 25 June 2019, Australia became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals, after beating England at Lord's. India became the second team to qualify for the semi-finals, after they defeated Bangladesh at Edgbaston on 2 July 2019. The following day saw tournament hosts England become the third team to qualify for the semi-finals, after they beat New Zealand at the Riverside Ground. New Zealand were the fourth and final team to qualify for the semi-finals, after Pakistan were unable to increase their net run rate sufficiently enough in their match against Bangladesh at Lord's.
