The 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier was the 12th edition of the Cricket World Cup Qualifier, which took place in June and July 2023 in Zimbabwe.[1] It was the culmination of the 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification process and decided the final two participants for the 2023 Cricket World Cup in India.[2][3]
In July 2020, Zimbabwe announced their intention to host the qualifier.[4] They had hosted the previous qualification tournament in March 2018.[5] In December 2020, Zimbabwe were confirmed as the tournament hosts.
A fire occurred at the Harare Sports Club on 20 June 2023 behind the southwest grandstand, but no damage took place, and this did not affect the scheduling.[6] The two finalists, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands, claimed the last two places at the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[7] Sri Lanka won the tournament, beating the Netherlands by 128 runs in a one-sided final.[8]
