The England vs New Zealand match, the first of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, was attended by a total of 47,518 people, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The start of the game saw empty stands throughout the stadium which put off several viewers with many taking to social media to share pictures of the low crowd turnout. However, the crowd at the venue did increase as the day progressed with many people coming in for the latter half of the game, with it being a weekday. The Narendra Modi Stadium is the world's largest cricket stadium and these numbers also make this game the most-attended opening match in ICC World Cups, despite there initially being a poor turnout.
