The Board of Control for Cricket in India is leaving no stone unturned to make the marquee India vs Pakistan clash in the ODI World Cup a memorable one for every cricket fan around the globe. The two arch-rivals will clash against each other at the world’s biggest cricket stadium – Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Saturday, October 14. The big ticket clash will set the tone for both teams in the ODI World Cup and is going to be a big morale booster for the side which ended up on the winning side.
The Indian cricket governing body has decided to make it a memorable day for everyone as they have lined up musical performances of India’s biggest singers and musicians – Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan and Sukhvinder Singh to light up the stage in the pre-match ceremony.

The BCCI didn’t organise an opening ceremony at the start of the tournament. It seems like it is going to treat the pre-match ceremony of the IND vs PAK clash as equivalent to the opening ceremony.

Tight security has been put in place for the high-profile match to be played on Saturday.
The city had been turned into a fortress and it will be secured by more than 11,000 members of the Gujarat police, National Security Guard (NSG), Rapid Action Force (RAF) and home guards.
PCB chief Zaka Ashraf will also be present at the stadium for the mega clash. Ashraf is leaving for Ahmedabad on Thursday night on the invitation of the BCCI to watch the highly-anticipated match between India and Pakistan.
Ashraf had also visited India in 2012/13, when he was the chairman of the PCB, for a bilateral series.
Meanwhile, both teams have already arrived in Ahmedabad and will take part in their respective training sessions on Friday to get ready for the big-ticket match.
