In a significant development in the cricketing world, the India vs Pakistan World Cup clash has been advanced by one day and is now scheduled to take place on October 14 in Ahmedabad. The original date of October 15 has been altered following an agreement between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the International Cricket Council (ICC), and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), according to a report by PTI.
As part of the revised itinerary, Pakistan's match against Sri Lanka, which was initially slated for October 12 in Hyderabad, will now be played on October 10. This change came about after the ICC and BCCI approached the PCB, requesting the rescheduling of two group matches, including the high-stakes encounter between arch-rivals India and Pakistan in Ahmedabad.
