IND vs PAK, World Cup 2023: Will rain affect epic India, Pakistan clash?
IND vs PAK, World Cup 2023: The first clash between India and Pakistan at the 2023 ICC World Cup is slated to take place on Saturday (October 14). The match will be held in the grand Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Both teams are undefeated in the tournament so far. While India has won over Australia and Afghanistan, Pakistan has won against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
In 2023, the two cricketing titans have already rekindled their well-known rivalry twice; one of these games was rained off, but the other saw India deliver a spectacular performance - a 228-run beating in the Asia Cup.
However, the World Cup is without a doubt the largest stage of all and weather potentially playing spoilsport would be heartbreaking not only for players and fans but also for the ICC, who bank significantly on rivalry.
But, will the rain have any effect on the proceedings at the grand Narendra Modi Stadium?
