India open their World Cup campaign on October 8 at MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai against Australians. They they met arch-rivals Pakistan on October 14 at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. The build up is huge for the big match in Ahmedabad as India and Pakistan don’t meet each other often in international cricket due to sour political relations. India play Pakistan in Asia Cup 2023 but the World Cup stage is the biggest and it will take some level of skills and temperament by the cricketers of both the sides to battle the nerves to come out on top.
