From the day the 2023 World Cup schedule was introduced, all eyes are on the India-Pakistan conflict. The match shall be performed on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October. The match will start with holders England taking over New Zealand on October 5 on the world’s greatest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, which will even host the ultimate. The schedule was introduced after weeks of delay as a consequence of Pakistan’s earlier refusal to journey to India, however a compromise was reached when Pakistan agreed to host a hybrid-model Asia Cup in September.

Pakistan star participant has made an fascinating touch upon the conflict. “Playing against India comes with a different sense of joy. The pressure overall is also different. Now when we have to go there, it will be their home ground – the crowd will be against us. However, we are going there to play in the World Cup, so we should think about it, and not only about India, because if we win against India and lose the World Cup, then there’s no benefit of it,” Shadab advised Cricket Pakistan.

“In my opinion, even if we lose against India but end up winning the World Cup, it’s a win-win because that is our main aim.”

In Pakistan’s earlier cricket journey to India in the course of the 2016 T20 World Cup, the match was shifted from Dharamsala to Kolkata over safety issues.

The 48-match match shall be performed at 10 venues throughout 46 days, with the highest 4 from the 10-team round-robin stage going by to the semi-finals, the ICC stated in an announcement 100 days earlier than the match begins.

Eight groups have already certified by the World Cup Super League. The last two spots shall be stuffed on the finish of the present qualifying match in Zimbabwe.
