The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash in the Cricket World Cup 2023 is set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both teams have had a successful start to the tournament, winning their first two matches and currently sitting in the top half of the points table. However, only one team will come out victorious in this match, and there are several factors that may influence the outcome.
With tickets for the match being sold out well in advance, the atmosphere at the Narendra Modi Stadium is expected to be electric. The final selection of players for each team will depend on the conditions on the day of the match, including the pitch and the weather.
The pitch report from the previous World Cup 2023 match held at the Narendra Modi Stadium indicates that the bowlers struggled to make an impact. In that match between England and New Zealand, England scored 282 runs in their innings, but New Zealand chased down the target in just 36.2 overs. The pitch offered little assistance to the bowlers, particularly in the second innings. Although there has traditionally been some movement for the pacers, especially under lights, it doesn’t seem to be the case this time around. It is likely that the pitch for the India vs Pakistan match will favor the team batting second, much like the England vs New Zealand contest.
In terms of the weather forecast, there is a mix of sunlight and clouds expected during the day, with only a 1% chance of rain according to Accuweather. The cloud cover is around 14% during the day and reduces to just 2% at night. Therefore, it is highly likely that the match will be uninterrupted by weather conditions.
Overall, fans and players can look forward to an exciting and uninterrupted contest between India and Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 14.
