They did play in Australia in triangular series in 2000 a few months after Kargil. But yes there were no matches for 2-3 years in that time frame.

India vs Pakistan in Narendra Modi Stadium....wow.![]()
That would be some game and probably will generate Mohali 2.0 kind of hype. Expect this game to break all records.
I think Pak PM will be invited as well to watch the game as well along with Modi himself.
Hoping PP forums are back by then to discuss the game here with passionate Pakistani and Indian fans![]()

Pak will have good support almost all the venues except in ahmedabad..
The 2003 WC match was much more hyped. India and Pakistan didn't play each other till that match since Kargil happened.
Rubbish. Pakistan won't get support in any stadium anywhere in India. Only in Pak vs BD game, Eden Gardens crowd may cheer for Pakistan. Not bcoz they love Pakistan but illegal BD immigrants are causing huge problem in Bengal and people want to see them lose, albeit against Pakistan.
Nope, nothing beats the hype Mohali 2011 created. Everyone in the country, even those who had no interest in cricket knew something big is happening in the country. Its the only match where there was 24/7 media coverage only on this game from 5 days prior. Corporate offices gave informal holidays for employees to enjoy this game. The fact that PM of both countries attended the game made it even more surreal.
That Mohali game was also the reason of partial decline in Indo-Pak match interest bcoz every game after that pale in comparison. Take any Ind-Pak after that and nothing comes even remotely close interms of hype.
2023 WC in Modi Stadium infront of 100k people can only topple that. I am already getting goose bumps thinking about it![]()
This is why India vs Pakistan is the real El Classico of cricket not some random pyjama league match.![]()
You are the only one hell bent on making Chennai Superduds vs Mumbai Nobodies an el-classicoGood attempt but NO
El -Classico is a sports rivalry and Mumbai-Chennai is the biggest rivalry in the daddy league. The fact that both teams are more or less same strength wise (5 titles each) makes the rivalry even more mouth watering.
India-Pakistan is a political rivalry and it generates hype bcoz the games are rare. Back in 2007 when these 2 teams were playing every 6 months, people had lost interest.
I know you are hell bent to make Ind-Pak an el-classico but failed attempt![]()

India-Pakistan games are the biggest crowd pullers in the history of the game and will not change for the foreseeable future. These games can only become even bigger, if the Pakistan team becomes decent enough to pack a punch. Right now, we start every game as underdogs and that will get boring for the neutrals very soon.

Its not only me bro....just type 'EL Classico in cricket' in google search and let me know what results you get.
No one is denying India vs Pakistan is biggest crowd puller but its a political rivalry more than sports rivalry. As you rightly said, Indian team is way superior that Pakistan at present, so it cant be a sports rivalry. Also, both the teams play once in a blue moon without any bilaterals for years to sustain any sort of sports rivalry. India vs Pakistan is the biggest crowd puller without a doubt but its due to factors outside cricket.
CSK - MI are closely matched teams like Barca and RM. Both share 5 trophies each and their fans really have heathy sporting rivalry and hence its called as El-Classico. I am surprised how you are hell bent of not calling it a rivalry
Anyway this is my last post on this topic as the discussion is about Ind Vs Pak WC game. Thanks to brother Viru for taking this discussion in a different direction.

Right now the white ball team is 50/50. I would even give the edge to Pakistan. Our balling is much superior and 3 of the top 5 batters in ODI are from Pakistan. Last 4 Ind/PK matches have been very close for a reason.
That is bcoz last 4 matches were T20s where most games are close due to the nature of the game. Why don't you check the last 3 ODIs and how one sided they were?
And if you dnt believe me, wait for few more months and you will get to know come Asia cup.

Now now, lets be fair here. Any Indian match 2010 onwards (Test or ODI) was hyped to the moon for one reason only, SRT's 100th 100!
So to some extent Pakistan vs India Mohali encounter was the perfect setting, but in the end Bangladesh it was, in a losing cause.
I wonder if these indian players will even have the mental capacity to handle the pressure of playing in front of a pakistani home crowd. Pakistan teams have at least been playing there and while the world cup record is not much, i think playing in front of a hostile crowd take cojones.
Interesting if they can handle it.

Time to get the heart monitors out for this one again!
And some already broken TV sets.![]()

Pakistan has closed the gap considerably in ODI cricket since the previous World Cup. India has declined in the format while Pakistan has ascended thanks to an extremely consistent top 3.
India would still be favorites because of home advantage and also because if they get their selection right they are still stronger, but Pakistan have a much better chance in 2023 than they did in the last few years.
So true. The best part of Pak vs India is the media aftermath!
I think I already answered your question regarding Asif Sait Zindabad in that thread. You ran away from there after I posted the pics there and your lie of congressi supporters waving Pakistani flags was also exposed in the same thread. As I said there, you can't convince someone who is both an andhbhakt and a behrabhakt.
And maybe you didn't understand my post. According to andhbhakhts, all those who don't vote for BJP are Pakistanis or Pakistan supporters by default. This is not limited to muslims only lol. So going by that logic Pakistan will get good support in Bengaluru. I was showing you the IQ levels of andhbhakhts who got their degrees from WhatsApp university. Most of the time you start typing your reply after reading some words but never try to understand the post. Take some time off and work on it. Hopefully will see you soon when the forum comes back online.![]()

Lol you didnt answer anything on that thread. I don't want to go back into details but re read the thread and feel free to bump if you can convince me (tough job though)
Also, no one had said that anyone that dosent vote for BJP supports Pakistan...LOL. Not sure where did you get that from. Posters like SIF, Pillionrider, Varun, Jaded etc dislike BJP but passionate Indian cricket fans. So not sure where have you heard that from. Perhaps it is your insecurity speaking. And then you are asking others to take break?
I however exactly know though who or which people in India supports Pakistan and there is no political ideology behind it.

Can someone explain why we're going to India if India is only agreeing to hybrid model for asia cup? Is it because if we insisted on hybrid model for world cup they would just have the tournament without us? Otherwise, what was all the arguing for? They're still not coming to Pakistan, and will probably not come for Champions Trophy either, but we're still happily going to play the tournament there....
^ PCB did it last time as well in T20 world cup 2016 where they denied playing in Dharmasala and the game had to be shifted in Eden Gardens. I have never seen such an entitled board and then fans expect BCCI to resume bilateral ties with them.
What is wrong with Ahmedabad? How is it any different from Kolkata, Chennai or Bangalore? Pakistan team got stone pelted by kolkata crowd in 1999 where as they never faced any issue in Ahmedabad. They played the T20 match in 2012 in Ahmedabad without any issues.
As I said multiple times before, PCB is simply playing politics by trying to potray Gujarat is unsafe state for muslims compared to other states in India. This is anything but cricket.
PCB, should have stuck with their original stance of not sending its team to world cup. Didn't they say that they would not go if India dosen't come? Well, India ain't going and will not in 2025 either. PCB should have maintained self esteem and skipped the world cup. Now that they have agreed to come, what venue host country decide they have to play in it. Hoping BCCI reject any such request of shifting venue and release the world cup schedule ASAP.
What's more hilarious is that they are willing to play there if they reach the final![]()
We don't have choice. Would definitely don't want the final there but can't do much about it.
But you have a problem playing another match in the same venue?

Yes, since ICC accomadated our fixtures in Bengal, Chennai, Deccan, Karnataka. Why not move the only fixture we have in Gujrat? I don't need to speak about the crowd at Narendra Modi Stadium, the name of the stadium speaks for itself.
Well, Narendra Modi is democratically elected PM of India twice and 2 times CM of the state of Gujarat. If Pakistan don't like the name its bad for them but they need to play as the choice of venues is at the discretion of home board. PCB is free to pull out of the world cup though as a protest.
India will win by 37 runs.
India 282/7(50 overs)
Pandya 63*(49)
Pak 255(49.2 overs)
Babar 61(77)
You're wrong because Pakistan will bat first

It's far more important for PCB to host the Champions Trophy in 2025 than this fruitless upcoming Asia Cup. It's clear the the PCB not sending it's team for this year's World Cup would have resulted in the BCCI pulling out of the Champions Trophy in 2025 unless it is moved away from Pakistan.
I just don’t want it to be Chennai, Pakistan always performs well against us there.
Kolkata Hyderabad Mohali are good!
How about 60 meter bengaluru?
Lol anyone can win in their too , innings from one batsman on either side enough to win
Yep, I love that batting paradise. Still remember Younis and Inzi's partnership there, which still is a record, I believe.
Do you still remember 1996 world cup in that same venue and how Ajay Jadeja treated Waqar Younis?

Lives of jawans? Who said so? BCCI's policy is not to let PCB profit from Indian cricket directly.
Absolutely wrong, Indian muslims support their country. Please don't insult their patriotism. Talk about Kashmir, the whole kashmir supports Pakistan including a bihari, bengali, UP wala who is staying in kashmir for few years now irrespective of their religion.
Lets be honest mate, BCCI is a clown as well. You don't play Pakistan in bilaterals and should not play in ICC events as well. But this selective nature makes us (BCCI) looks like hypocrites.
The above poster is correct, we give excuse of jaawans for bilaterals and then do bhangra in ICC events. This need to stop. Absolutely no point of defending BCCI.
I was 3 years old at that time. Don't really remember it, saw the highlights though how Aamer Sohail sledged Prasad.
Najam Sethi in his presser:
"The decision lies in the government's hands for approval. As far as India and Pakistan go, neither the PCB nor the BCCI can take decisions. The respective governments can only take decisions,"
"It's our government who has to decide, just like when it comes to India, it's their government that decides when they go to play. There is no point asking us if we will play in Ahmedabad."
As per reports, Pakistan are set to face Afghanistan in Chennai and Australia in Bengaluru. However, the PCB are looking for a swap of the two matches. The report states that some officials believe that India has intentionally proposed matches in venues where the Pakistan team may encounter challenges related to pitch conditions, practice facilities, and travel arrangements.

I read this as well. Can someone pls confirm what is the issue now playing Afghanistan in Chennai and Australia in Bangalore? Chalo, atleast in Ahmedabad they have a political score to settle, so understandable even though it sounds ludicrous.
But what is the issue with Chennai and Bangalore now??
Is PCB scared of facing Afghan spinners in Chennai?
Or are they afraid that Australian batters would outbat them in Bangalore 60m boundaries?
PCB should organize more ODIs prior to world cup to improve his team's skillet rather than picking and choosing where Pak team should play in world cup according to their convinience.
I have never see any other board made so much fuss about venues for a world cup.
Didnt India made a fuss about Asia cup venue, and they are already making noise for 2025 CT...
I think PCB is just reacting to Asia cup venue shift on watever capacity they can...
