With only one day left for the blockbuster IND vs PAK World Cup clash, all eyes will yet again be on the pitch for this important clash. The match will be played in the world’s largest stadium Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. One match was played in the WC here of ENG vs NZ, and it turned out to be a run feast for the batters as two centuries were scored by Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra.
Such was the two Kiwi batters’ assault, that the 283-run target was chased with 14 overs to spare. The pitch expected for IND vs PAK clash will also follow a similar template, which means bowlers are set for a leather hunt. Both India & Pakistan have two games and won both the matches. One team’s winning streak will come to an end tomorrow.
IND & PAK also hit the nets in Ahmedabad yesterday. From India’s camp, Shubman Gill hitting the training after dengue is big positive news. The batter had a good training session.
