It has been decided to move the highly anticipated India-Pakistan group match from October 13 to October 14 in the 2018 ODI World Cup. The official announcement of these changes is likely to be made on July 31. Additional alterations to the World Cup schedule are anticipated.
After three boards wrote to the ICC asking for a calendar adjustment, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah stated last week that a change in the ODI World Cup schedule was likely. He added that in order to reduce the gap to 4-5 days, just the match timings and dates would be changed. The BCCI secretary did not reveal the identities of the ICC full members who asked for a change in the schedule.
“Three members have requested a change in schedule in writing to the ICC. The only things that will vary are the date and the timings; the locations won’t. We are attempting to cut the time between games from six to four or five days. In three to four days, the situation will become evident. Changes will be made after consulting with the ICC, according to Shah.
The 2023 ODI World Cup match between India and Pakistan was postponed after Ahmedabad’s local police voiced worries about providing appropriate security on October 15, which also happens to be the first day of the Hindu festival Navaratri. The size of the game and the celebratory mood of the religious occasion may make it difficult for the authorities to appropriately handle the situation.
Fans and stakeholders who had already made travel plans, including reserving flights and accommodations in Ahmedabad in anticipation of viewing the eagerly anticipated India vs. Pakistan match, were alarmed by the revelation of a potential schedule change. This game has always been one of the most watched athletic events in the globe, and cricket fans from both nations anxiously anticipate this fierce matchup.
The fact that India has a perfect 7-0 head-to-head record versus Pakistan in Cricket World Cup history adds to the intrigue surrounding a potential schedule alteration. The teams’ ninth clash at the major event in 2023 is eagerly anticipated. Their most recent matchup took place during the 2019 World Cup. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and quickly review some of their previous World Cup encounters.
