If what you require is a single sheet to quickly look over and see what games are happening when and where, look no further:

And if what you’re hoping to see if a little less… cluttered¹, here is the same schedule, broken down week by week.

Let’s first, however, include the most important part of the guide, the stadium key so you’ll know which stadiums will be hosting the individual games.

Several big games to get the proceedings started off this weekend, with three former World Cup winners (Pakistan, West Indies and India) on the first day and another two (England and Sri Lanka) on the second. And the one match that doesn’t feature a former champion is a top-10 match up with New Zealand (No. 4) challenging Afghanistan (No. 10).

The only full week of matches will be taking place between February 9th and February 15th. While there any number of exciting potential match-ups and interesting combinations, the only one that really matters is the one at the very end of the week: India vs. Pakistan.

Whether not it is happening is still up in the air, as the Pakistani Cricket Board and at least one politician in the country have implied that — in response to Bangladesh’s refusal to play in India and the ICC’s rejection of their concerns over potential security threats — what is unequivocally the most anticipated match of the entire endeavor may not end up happening.

With the last week of group play, the goal will largely be to secure position in the “Super 8” round for those who haven’t done so already. And, on Friday the 20th, the schedule starts to more closely resemble what it will be for the back half of the tournament.

The Super 8 format is, more or less, a continuation of the group stages and round-robin format, injected with a new set of opponents. The top two teams from each group will advance to this part of the tournament and

Both the amount of teams and facilities involved will start to decrease, and although we won’t know until we do what teams will be playing, given the context, these should all be somewhere between “good” and “great” games. We will, of course, update this part of the schedule accordingly as teams lock in their positions for the second stage of the tournament.

Okay, finals “three out of the last five days” is probably a better description for this (and one which probably is less triggering for any school-age/or school teacher readers of ours). And as we mentioned in our newsletter highlighting the start of this tournament, there are a number of contingencies involved in the first semi-final and final games, which will be played — by agreement between the Indian and Pakistani cricket boards, in conjunction with the ICC — at a “neutral” site, which in this case would be R. Premadasa Stadium in Sri Lanka. If Pakistan doesn’t make it this far, however, those will be played at Eden Gardens and Modi Stadium, respectively.

As ever, once the final field is set, we will be updating this graphic accordingly. (Along with some other bits where we’ll drill down and provide actual analysis, to the best of our abilities, based on what we’ve seen so far in the tournament.)
