CWC 2023: India wins the toss and elects to bowl against Pakistan
India won the toss and elected to field first in the “massive” World Cup clash with arch-rivals Pakistan at the world’s biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
The two powerhouses renew their rivalry on Saturday at the 132,000-seater Narendra Modi Stadium, named after the Indian Prime Minister.
Favourites India have won their two opening matches of the 50-over showpiece event to get past five-time winners Australia and then Afghanistan.
Rohit said the team has momentum after they won the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka and then beat Australia in a three-match series.
India also enjoy an unbeaten record against Pakistan in seven World Cup meetings but Rohit doesn’t read too much into it.
