India vs Pakistan: preview
India host Pakistan today in one of the most highly-anticipated games of the group stage at the 2023 Cricket World Cup on Saturday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. With a capacity of 132,000, the atmosphere is set to be electric, especially after both teams began the tournament with a victory.
India got their tournament up and running with a dominant victory over five-time winners Australia, bowling the visitors out for 199 and then chasing down the target inside 42 overs. The win was even more impressive as the hosts had slipped to 2-3 before a fourth wicket partnership of 165 that contained brilliant knocks from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul.
Rahul Dravid’s side were perhaps even more impressive in their second game on Wednesday when they secured an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Afghanistan. Chasing 273, Rohit Sharma smashed 113 from 84 balls as India reached the target with 15 overs to spare.
Pakistan will also arrive in Ahmedabad full of confidence following a comfortable 81-run victory over the Netherlands and a thrilling win over Sri Lanka. Chasing a World Cup record of 345, a monumental partnership of 176 off 156 balls between Abdullah Shafique and Muhammad Rizwan laid the platform, with both players hitting centuries as Pakistan won by six wickets.
