New Delhi: The much-anticipated India-Pakistan game of the ICC World Cup 2023 has been rescheduled to October 14,a day earlier than the original schedule, reported ESPN Cricinfo.
Though ICC has not released a revised schedule for the World Cup, which is expected to come out this week, ESPN Cricinfo understands that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has agreed on the change. The venue will be Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium as originally announced.
The date change for the biggest fixture of the tournament has an impact on Pakistan’s preceding fixture against Sri Lanka as well. It will be played in Hyderabad as originally announced but on October 10, instead of October 12, allowing Pakistan enough gap between two matches.
The need for change in schedule of the India-Pakistan match was due to the first day of Navaratri which coincided on October 15.
