Already, thousands of fans have started gathering outside the stadium to watch India vs Pakistan live. The Indian team will play an ODI match against Pakistan in Ahmedabad after 18 years. The last time the two teams clashed here in 2005, Pakistan had defeated India. The Indian team would also like to take revenge for that defeat.
Shubman Gill is certain to play in this match. He has recovered from dengue. In such a situation, Ishan Kishan will have to sit out. At the same time, it will be interesting to see whether India enters this match with three fast bowlers or 3 spinners. Any one of Shardul Thakur, R Ashwin and Mohammed Shami may get a chance in the playing-11.
The World Cup journey has been similar for both India and Pakistan so far. Both India and Pakistan have won their first two matches. While India defeated Australia and Afghanistan, Pakistan defeated Netherlands and Sri Lanka. India have won 4 out of the last five ODIs against Pakistan. There have been 7 matches between the two teams in the World Cup so far and India has won all of them.
The good thing for India is that Shubman Gill who could not play the first two matches of the World Cup 2023 due to dengue. He has now recovered and is likely to play against Pakistan. After reaching Ahmedabad, Gill has practiced batting.
If he does not play for some reason then Ishan Kishan will open. Ishaan’s recent record against Pakistan is also good. Before the World Cup, he had played an inning of 81 runs in 82 balls in the match against Pakistan in Pallekele in the Asia Cup. That means he can face Shaheen Shah Afridi with the new ball. Mohammed Shami can also play.
There may be dew in Ahmedabad in the evening. This clearly means that the team which bats first will try to score maximum runs. India-Pakistan match can be played on black soil pitch.
So far, only one match has taken place in the World Cup in Ahmedabad, in which New Zealand defeated defending champion England. In that match, Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway scored unbeaten centuries. In such a situation, rain of runs can be seen in the India-Pakistan match also.
