Muttiah Muralitharan names the match he is looking forward to in ODI World Cup
The International Cricket Council, on Tuesday (June 27), announced the full schedule of the ODI World Cup 2023 edition, which will be held in India in October-November. After a long delay, the schedule was revealed and it has created a huge stir on social media platforms and in the cricketing fraternity. Defending champions England will take on the last edition's runners-up New Zealand in Ahmedabad on October 05, whereas India will open their campaign versus Australia in Chennai on October 08.
India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan on October 15 at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadiumin Ahmedabad. By all means, it will be the biggest clash of the World Cup. Apart from the Indo-Pak face-off, the cricketing fraternity will also await the battle between England-Australia, New Zealand-Australia, Australia-South Africa, Pakistan-Bangladesh, etc. For Muttiah Muralitharan, he is looking forward to India's face-off versus England in Lucknow on October 29.
“I am looking forward to India vs England. India are one of the favourites because they are playing at home and they know how to win in India. This is going to be a very interesting match and I want to watch it,” Muralitharan was quoted as saying to Star Sports.
In the 2019 ODI World Cup, India and England locked horns atEdgbaston, Birmingham where Eoin Morgan & Co. beat Virat Kohli-led Men in Blue by 31 runs in a high-scoring contest. The last time India co-hosted the World Cup in 2011, both sides met in a memorable game which ended in a tie. It will be interesting to see which side ends on top this time around in the upcoming edition.
India will open their campaign versus England in their first warm-up game on September 30 whereas they will play Qualifier 2 in their second and last warm-up game, on October 03. The two-time winners will open their campaign in the main draw versus Australia in Chennai on October 08 and then play Afghanistan on October 11 (in New Delhi), Pakistan on October 15 (in Ahmedabad), Bangladesh in Pune on October 19, New Zealand on October 22 in Dharamshala, England on October 29 in Lucknow, Qualifier 2 on November 02 in Mumbai, South Africa on November 05 and Qualifier 1 in Bengaluru.
