Revised Schedule for Pakistan vs India ODI World Cup Match Expected Today
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is anticipated to announce the revised schedule for the much-awaited ODI World Cup match between Pakistan and India today. While the council is yet to issue an official statement, Indian media has claimed that the match will now be played on October 14, a day earlier than originally planned.
India had requested the ICC to alter the match schedule due to Navratri, an annual Hindu festival. Gujarat, where the festival is widely celebrated, is expected to see a huge influx of fans for the match. The Indian cricket board was approached by security agencies, urging them to reschedule the high-octane clash.
A senior official from the Board of Control for Cricket in India stated that they are examining all available options and a decision is expected soon. He acknowledged the significance of the match and the festive period but emphasized that it would be impossible to alter the date.
The upcoming ODI will mark the eighth time these two cricketing powerhouses face each other in this format. The last encounter between the teams took place four years ago, with the Men in Blue securing a victory by 89 runs.
