India and Pakistan are set to face each other in one of the most highly-anticipated contests in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The archrivals share a storied rivalry in cricket but in ICC ODI World Cups, India have a clear dominance with seven victories with Pakistan yet to win one. The two sides very recently as last month in the Asia Cup 2023 where India had trumped Pakistan convincingly by 228 runs. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul had scored centuries in that game while chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav registered a sensational five-wicket haul. While India would look to repeat that sort of result once again, Pakistan will eye an elusive win over their archrivals to make a statement in the competition. The Men in Blue have had a great start to their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign, beating Australia and Afghanistan quite convincingly.
