The first match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India will take place in Ahmedabad on October 5, between the reigning champions England against New Zealand. In their inaugural match, Team India will take against Australia on October 8 at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium.
India's second game will be against Afghanistan in the meantime. On Wednesday, October 11, this game will take place in Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. For the Indian squad, playing a game during the week will be unusual because most of their other matches are on the weekends. Both clubs will have a lot riding on this game.
