AHMEDABAD, India : Pakistan would be forgiven for feeling like gladiators thrown into the Colosseum when they face an India team egged on by 100,000-plus fans in Saturday's World Cup blockbuster, but skipper Babar Azam sees the match as a chance to end a jinx against their arch-rivals.
Virat Kohli is such a big-match player, be it against Pakistan, Australia, or England, you have to back him. He knows how to construct his innings in a high-pressure encounter. Be it while setting a target or chasing. Babar Azam is a marvelous player. Though he hasn't scored big runs in the first two encounters, Pakistan would be hoping that the captain comes good in the big encounter against India.
Only a day remains before high-profile India vs Pakistan contest begins in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, but there still remains a sense of mystery over the status of Shubman Gill's availability. The opening batter, who was down with dengue fever for a few days, hit the nets on Thursday, two days before the start of the Indo-Pak contest in Ahmedabad. But, is he fully fit to feature against Pakistan? If Shubman joining his teammates in Ahmedabad and batting in the nets for an hour is a hint, the former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector feels the talented batter will ‘definitely play' against Babar Azam's men.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to organise a pre-match show featuring some of the finest musicians in the country ahead of the high-profile Cricket World Cup 2023 contest against Pakistan. The match, which is to be held in Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, is already in the spotlight for what it has to offer on the cricket front. The musical performances, however, are set to add to its glamour on Saturday. As revealed by the Board of Control for Cricket In India (BCCI), some astounding singers of the country will perform in a pre-match show at the venue.
The Indian cricket team went into the Cricket World Cup 2023 with a few questions regarding their batting line-up with experts and fans wondering how they will manage the No. 4 conundrum. However, a match-winning knock by KL Rahul against Australia and Shreyas Iyer's return to form against Afghanistan has actually allayed fears and provided the hosts with somewhat of a concrete line-up. Ahead of a crucial match against Pakistan on October 14, that was good news for the fans but just as one question was answered, a new dilemma has reared its head. With Ravichandran Ashwin playing the first game in Chennai and then making way for Shardul Thakur in the next game at Hyderabad, a new question exists about the bowling team combination that can prove to be a major headache for selectors.
Security arrangements in Ahmedabad have been tightened ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup clash between India and Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Arch-rivals India and Pakistan will be locking horns against each other at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday. Ahead of this high-octane clash, drones have been deployed near the venue to keep an eye on any danger or anti-social elements.
Arguably the biggest cricketing contest in the world is set to unfold at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as India and Pakistan square off in the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Saturday. Both teams are off to a bright start in the quadrennial event, winning two matches apiece. As the arch-rivals prepare for the mega event, Pakistan legend Shoaib Akhtar summed up what the contest means for the players. In a rather bold assessment, Akhtar declared that this match is 'not for the faint-hearted'.
Australia got their tactics and team selection all wrong in Thursday's World Cup defeat by South Africa and the five-times champions must quickly get their act together if they are to avoid a group-stage exit, said former skipper Michael Clarke.
