The highly anticipated India versus Pakistan match of the ODI World Cup 2023 is expected to be a colossal affair, with cricket aficionados from around the globe eager to witness this historic showdown. In light of this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly decided to host this much-awaited encounter at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, owing to its massive seating capacity of more than 1 lakh.
Sources reveal that the BCCI’s decision was prompted by an anticipated influx of cricket enthusiasts from abroad, who are expected to flock to India to witness this epic event. The Ahmedabad stadium’s sheer size and reputation make it the perfect choice for hosting this high-voltage match, as it promises to provide an unforgettable experience for both players and spectators alike.
Pakistan’s probable venues
Recent reports suggest that Pakistan’s cricket team may find themselves playing most of their ODI World Cup 2023 matches in the southern cities of Chennai and Bengaluru, with Kolkata’s iconic Eden Gardens also under consideration as a venue. The decision is said to be motivated by security concerns, as ensuring the safety of players and spectators alike remains the top priority.
Similarly, Bangladesh may also end up playing most of their matches in Kolkata and Guwahati, as it would offer convenience to fans traveling from the neighboring country. With October-November being the monsoon season in India, the BCCI has taken the weather into account and plans to conclude the matches in the southern parts of the country before the first week of November.
Sources reveal that the BCCI has also consulted with the Indian National cricket team management to ensure that the team’s preferences are taken into account, particularly for matches other than the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan encounter, which is probably going to take place at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The BCCI’s efforts to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for players and fans alike are indeed commendable, as cricket enthusiasts around the world look forward to the thrilling ODI World Cup 2023.
