The India vs Pakistan match of Cricket World Cup 2023 may
take place in Delhi or Chennai. The two cities are said to be options for
hosting the mega marquee event.
According to a Cricbuzz report, the BCCI has announced 12
venues for the 48 matches of the Cricket World Cup 2023. Each venue can host
four matches. Narendra Modi's match in Ahmedabad could be the last match, while
the big clash between India and Pakistan could take place in Chennai or Delhi.
Sharing some details about the 2023 World Cup, Cricbuzz
reported:
"The World Cup
is scheduled for October-November but the BCCI and the ICC are yet to announce
the schedule. Delhi and Chennai have been touted to be the venue options for
the big India-Pakistan game but nothing has been confirmed."
Which stadium will host the 2023 Cricket World Cup
semi-final?
Apart from India v Pakistan in the World Cup, the other two
important matches are the two semi-final clashes. The top four teams in the
standings will meet in the semi-finals before the winners advance to the final.
In 2016, when India hosted the ICC final, Delhi and Mumbai
hosted the two semi-finals. This year, the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is among
those who will host one of the two semi-finals, while the other venue is yet to
be announced.
Mohali's Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium which
hosted the 2011 World Cup between India and Pakistan did not make the final
list for the upcoming mega event.
Besides Ahmedabad, Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai, the other
eight venues listed for the 2023 World Cup are Rajkot, Guwahati, Indore,
Kolkata, Bengaluru, Dharamsala, Hyderabad and Lucknow. It will be interesting
to see which sports will get the right to host the semi-finals.
