Millions of sports enthusiasts are predicted to fill restaurants, pubs, street markets, as well as malls in both nations. This is because barely an hour till the high-stakes India vs Pakistan encounter. On October 14th, two of the fiercest rivals will square off at the men’s Cricket World Cup.
Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, and Sukhwinder Singh will perform during the pre-match concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 14, the Indian Cricket Board said on October 12.
The Indian Cricket Board had also received criticism from Netizens for this, though. Users have criticised the Indian Cricket Board and questioned whether the World Cup is simply about the match between India and Pakistan. Users claim that performers leading up to the India vs. Pakistan game demonstrate that other games and other World Cup teams’ participation is not at all important.
For supporters, getting seats for the India-Pak game has been difficult. Initial criticisms focused on official ticketing partners’ failure to provide enough tickets for internet sales.
Pre-match show ahead of the India-Pakistan clash is set to be only for in-stadium fans
The official broadcaster of the ODI World Cup 2023 has revealed some crucial information. The pre-match show will only be for the in-stadium viewers was the latest update from the broadcasters. The fans have paid a lot of money to arrive and be part of the festivities. Along with the pre-match show, they would get to watch the mouth-watering encounter.
