The arch-rivals India and Pakistan are all set to bulldoze each other in the 14th ODI of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, to be held at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 14th October, 2:00 PM IST onwards.
Both India and Pakistan are undefeated until now in World Cup 2023 and both teams would like to continue with the winning streak. However, India have a slight edge in terms of winning average in the last five games. While India have won 4 of the 5 previous wins, Pakistan have tasted success in the 3 out of the previous 5 games. Pakistan’s hopes rest on the batting of Mohammad Rizwan (average of over 80 in last 10 games) and Babar Azam (335 runs in the last 10 matches), with key bowlers being Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi).
India, on the other hand, would bank on senior players including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, especially Virat Kohli who has an average of over 55 against Pakistan, with the highest score of 183.

IND vs PAK Dream11 Prediction
Let’s begin the discussion with the jinx that Pakistan has yet to overcome i.e. defeating India in an ICC World Cup game. Of the 7 World Cup encounters between the two arch-rivals, Pakistan hasn’t won a single game. India would look to make it 8 while Pakistan would look to overcome their World Cup woes against India.
While both teams deserve to win the encounter, India looks to have an edge in terms of team balance, bench strength and confidence. Even the head-to-head comparison goes in the favor of the hosts, with 4 wins in the last 5 matches (one being tied).
Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from INdia
