IND vs PAK Cricket World Cup 2023: The much-anticipated clash between India and Pakistan in the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 is slated to be at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad held on Saturday (October 14). This fixture has generated immense excitement and anticipation as it will be the first international match between these two teams on Indian soil since the T20 World Cup 2016 clash in Kolkata.
India, boasting a flawless record in ODI World Cup matches against Pakistan, seeks to maintain its dominance. In all seven previous encounters, India emerged victorious, and they enter this match with confidence following recent wins against five-time champions- Australia, and Afghanistan. Pakistan, on the other hand, enters the contest with momentum, having secured victories against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.

The upcoming fixture will mark the third ODI encounter between these fierce rivals in 2023, with the previous two matches taking place during the Asia Cup 2023 in Sri Lanka, both marred by rain. However, Ahmedabad’s weather forecast for Saturday appears promising, with minimal chances of rain. According to Accuweather, the daytime forecast indicates 14% cloud cover and a 0% probability of thunderstorms, with cloud cover decreasing to 2% during the night time. The temperature will float around mid 30 degrees to early 40 degrees and is forecasted to drop down to around mid 20 degrees around the evening.
The Narendra Modi Stadium, with a seating capacity of an estimated 130,000 fans, is expected to witness an electrifying atmosphere. Considering pitch conditions, the previous game played in Ahmedabad between England and New Zealand on October 5 suggests that the wicket is likely to favour batsmen. Teams may have the opportunity to post substantial totals if they approach their innings with caution, making it an exciting prospect for both players and spectators.
The IND vs PAK World Cup 2023 will also have a pre-match show beginning at 12:30 pm (IST) with the first ball set to bowled at 02:00 pm (IST).
