The India-Pakistan match in the ODI World Cup has been moved up a day to October 14...
Digital Desk: The highly anticipated India-Pakistan group meeting in the ODI World Cup has been rescheduled for October 14, a day earlier than previously scheduled. Further alterations to the World Cup schedule are planned, and an official statement regarding these changes is due on July 31.
After three boards wrote to the ICC demanding a calendar adjustment, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah stated last week that a change in the schedule of the ODI World Cup was likely. He also indicated that just the match dates and times would be changed to reduce the gap to 4-5 days. The identities of the ICC full members who requested a schedule change were not made public by the BCCI secretary.
"Three members have requested a schedule change from the ICC." Only the date and times will be altered; the locations will remain unchanged. We are attempting to decrease the six-day gap between games to 4-5 days. In three to four days, the picture will become evident. Changes will be made in cooperation with the ICC, according to Shah.
The decision to delay the India-Pakistan match in the 2023 ODI World Cup comes after Ahmedabad police expressed worries about guaranteeing enough security on October 15, the same day as the Hindu festival Navaratri begins. The enormity of the match, along with the celebratory spirit of the religious holiday, may put the authorities' ability to administer the event successfully under strain.
The announcement of a predicted schedule adjustment prompted alarm among fans and stakeholders who had already made travel preparations, including reserving flights and accommodations in Ahmedabad, in anticipation of attending much-anticipated India vs. Pakistan match. This match has historically been one of the most-watched sporting events in the world, and supporters from both countries are looking forward to this fierce confrontation on the cricket pitch.
To add to the intrigue surrounding this prospective schedule alteration, India has a perfect 7-0 head-to-head record versus Pakistan in Cricket World Cup history.
Furthermore, The teams last met during the 2019 World Cup, and anticipation is high for their eighth meeting at the 2023 World Cup. Let's take a look back at some of their previous World Cup encounters.
