Pakistan’s schedule for ICC World Cup 2023

Pakistan will play their league stage matches at five venues: Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. Its last match will be against England on November 12 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

They will clash against India in the largest cricket stadium in the world in Ahmedabad on October 5.

Earlier Pakistan asked for the locations of their games against Australia and Afghanistan to be switched. They didn't want to play Afghanistan in Chennai because of the opponent's strong spin-bowling lineup. They stated a desire to play in Bangalore against Afghanistan and Chennai versus Australia.

However, the ICC has refused their request for the same and they will play against Afghanistan on spin-friendly Chennai pitch and will clash with Australia on batting-friendly Australia.

In case, Pakistan reaches the semi-final stage of the ICC World Cup 2023, they will play their knockout match in Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
