IND vs PAK ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023
Match 12 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup takes place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as hosts India take on their great rivals Pakistan on Saturday. It has been a very strong start to this tournament so far for India who have beaten Australia by 6 wickets with 52 balls remaining and Afghanistan by 8 wickets with 90 balls remaining. Pakistan also come into this clash with a 100% record after an 81 run victory over Netherlands in Match 2 before Sri Lanka were beaten by 6 wickets with 10 balls remaining on Tuesday. Read on as we preview this game. The day-night fixture gets underway at 14:00 local time.
India have shown their quality in both wins over Australia and Afghanistan so far in the tournament. There were moments when Afghanistan threatened to get on top of the Indian bowlers but in the end the hosts got home with 15 overs remaining. It will require an incredible performance from Pakistan to win this game.
Pakistan have had two comfortable victories so far in the 2023 Cricket World Cup but we expect this match to be their toughest game to date. They have a poor record against India who will be very hard to beat in front of a large and passionate crowd in Ahmedabad.

IND vs PAK Match Toss Prediction
New Zealand won the opening game of the tournament at this venue by 9 wickets after fielding first and five of the last eight ODIs in Ahmedabad have been won by the chasing side. Our prediction is that both captains will want to field first in this game.
IND vs PAK Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium is home to a good batting wicket and we expect a par score to be around 330 runs. There is also assistance for the spinners and the quicks with a surface which should produce an excellent contest between bat and ball.
Ahmedabad Weather Report
The temperature is forecast to remain over 30 degrees from start to finish on Saturday. Humidity levels should not change a great deal and are expected to be around 50% throughout the game.

India Team News
Although Shubman Gill has now returned to the squad after missing the first two games with illness, we do not expect the right-handed to be rushed back into the team, particularly after Ishan Kishan scored a run–a-ball 47 on Wednesday. However, on a pitch with a bit more turn than Delhi, we anticipate that Ravichandran Ashwin will return.
India Team Key Players
- Rohit Sharma - The 36 year old opener was unstoppable against Afghanistan hitting 16 fours and five sixes before he finally missed a slog sweep. We expect him to go on the attack from the first ball again in this clash.
- Virat Kohli - The right-handed former skipper continues to play attacking cricket without throwing his wicket away. JHe is in brilliant form and so far in the competition he has scored 85 and 55 not out.

Pakistan Team News
After replacing Fakhar Zaman at the top of the order ahead of the game against Sri Lanka, Abdullah Shafique is guaranteed to retain his spot after hitting an ODI century on his World Cup debut. We expect to see Pakistan unchanged for this match.
Pakistan Team Key Players
- Abdullah Shafique - With only one half-century from his previous four ODI innings, the pressure was on the right-handed opener on Tuesday but he responded with 113 runs from only 103 balls.
- Mohammad Rizwan - The keeper-batter had lower back problems as well as cramp against Sri Lanka but still took the Player of the Match Award with 131 not out from 121 balls.
- Babar Azam - Babar Azam didnt have great in this world cup campaign but is an consistent batter in ODI's and averages 57.09 with 5424 runs. He is due for a big knock and can be backed in this match to score runs.

- Hasan Ali - The right-arm pace bowler conceded the most runs across the Pakistan attack on Tuesday but picked up wickets throughout the innings with dismissals in the 2nd, 29th, 31st and 48th overs.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi - The 23 year old left-arm opening bowler struggled for rhythm in Hyderabad against Sri Lanka but still managed to pick up a wicket for the 18th successive game.
- Haris Rauf - He is a fast bowler who clocks around 150 mph and the wicket at Ahmedabad will assist him as it has great pace and bounce.

India vs Pakistan Betting Odds
India are the favourites to win this game and are priced at 1.40 with the bookies. Although Pakistan are the underdogs, their odds are not all that long and can be backed at 2.80.
Who will win India vs Pakistan ODI Match?
Pakistan have some excellent players but do not have the same strength in depth which India have in their squad. India have been very strong so far in the tournament and we have them as the top team for this game.
🏆 India vs Pakistan Prediction
It was June 2017 when Pakistan last beat India in an ODI and in the six years since, India have beaten them four times. There is no doubt that when Pakistan are at their best they can beat even a very strong India side, but right now it is India who are setting the pace in the tournament, particularly with their batting. If Shaheen Shah Afridi and Babar Azam can both produce top performances then Pakistan will have a chance in Ahmedabad but overall we are predicting a third win in a row in the tournament for the hosts. We are backing India to win on Saturday.
