NEW DELHI: Buoyed by a record run chase, Pakistan are determined to secure their first-ever World Cup victory against India in a highly anticipated match scheduled for Saturday. This clash between cricket's fiercest rivals is set to take place in a colossal stadium - Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad - with a capacity of 132,000, where the security is overseen by a contingent of 11,000 police officers.
India and Pakistan share a long history of political tensions, which limits their cricket encounters to international tournaments only. Whenever these two teams face off, it garners immense fan interest, drawing millions of viewers worldwide and presenting a significant spectacle for broadcasters and sponsors.
