India and Pakistan will cross swords in the blockbuster clash of the World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on October 14. India vs Pakistan is the biggest match of any ICC event. The tickets for the high-profile clash were sold out in a flash and the hotel prices in the city skyrocketed for the day as soon as the schedule was announced. Meanwhile, both India and Pakistan have reached Ahmedabad. The Pakistan cricket team got a resounding welcome in Ahmedabad. The team was greeted with dance and flowers in the Ahmedabad hotel.The Men in Blue have started the World Cup with a bang. After a stunning six-wicket win over Australia in the first match, the team picked up an eight-wicket win over Afghanistan. Team India restricted Afghanistan to a modest score of 272-8 before a blazing century by Rohit Sharma helped India chase the target in just 35 overs.
Meanwhile, Pakistan are also in great form, having beaten the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. The team pulled off the biggest chase in World Cup history after they made a mockery of the 345-run target set by Sri Lanka. Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique scored centuries as Pakistan cruised to a win. The Men in Green rely a lot on Babar Azam but the skipper has looked out of touch in the first two games, scoring just five and 10 respectively. Babar will be looking to make amends in the all-important match against Pakistan.
Pakistan’s biggest supporter Bashir Chacha backed Indian batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to do well in their Saturday clash. “Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will score runs against Pakistan,” Bashir Chacha told ANI.
