    India and Pakistan meet on Saturday in the showpiece group-stage event of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, with the 132,000-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad set to be bursting at the seams.

    For their last World Cup meeting in England four years ago, there were over 800,000 applications for tickets made for the Old Trafford clash, a match which was watched globally by 273 million viewers!

    While The Ashes - and meetings between England and Australia - certainly bring a fierce rivalry of their own, what sets matches between India and Pakistan apart is the rarity of them.

    Owing to political tensions between the two nations - with three wars fought between India and Pakistan since they became independent nations in 1947 - no cricket was played between the two countries between 1962 and 1977, while they currently compete against each other only in Asia Cup tournaments or official ICC events.

    "There's a huge amount of rivalry and history between both sides; it's not just about what happens on the park.

    "India have had bragging rights for a considerable period of time. Both sides have started this tournament well.

    "I have no doubt it's going to be an epic game."

    On the field, the action certainly should be spectacular, with India and Pakistan currently ranked first and second in the world in one-day internationals and both having won their opening two World Cup matches.

    Highlights from the Cricket World Cup match between Pakistan and the Netherlands as Babar Azam's side won by 81 runs

    Pakistan comfortably saw off the Netherlands and then broke the record for the highest World Cup run-chase, reeling in 345 to defeat Sri Lanka on Tuesday, while India are also two from two after impressive wins over Australia and Afghanistan - the latter display headlined by captain Rohit Sharma's record-extending seventh World Cup century.

    Highlights from the Cricket World Cup match between Afghanistan and India as Rohit Sharma hit his seventh century in the tournament, a new record

    Both teams have enjoyed storied successes in the tournament, with India victorious twice (1983 and 2011), and Pakistan triumphant once (1992). However, in terms of head-to-head meetings, it makes for sorry reading from a Pakistan point of view.

    India have won all seven of their prior 50-over World Cup meetings, even reigning supreme in 1992 before Imran Khan's 'cornered tigers' turned things around to ultimately beat England in that year's final.

    India's two World Cup wins were rather contrasting in terms of expectations. They were very much the favourites in 2011 when again given hosting duties and, despite being under such intense scrutiny, they emerged victorious - beating Sri Lanka in the final after having bested Pakistan in the semis.

    As for 1983, India did not face Pakistan that year and were very much unfancied for both their semi-final tie with hosts England and the final against two-time reigning champions the West Indies. But, incredibly, Kapil Dev's inspired outfit successfully defended 183 against the likes of Viv Richards, Gordon Greenidge and Clive Lloyd at Lord's to lift the trophy for the first time.

    Rohit has already stamped his mark on this tournament, continuing his remarkable World Cup record. The India captain now has a record seven centuries in only 19 World Cup outings, while his 131 against Afghanistan was also the fastest World Cup ton by an Indian batter, the opener reaching three figures in just 63 balls.

    Kohli is the other standout in the Indian batting line-up and has two half-centuries already to his name from the opening two matches of the tournament. He will be kicking himself, however, that his 85 to help his side over the line from a seemingly-perilous position at 2-3, chasing 200 against Australia, did not become his 48th ODI hundred and move him to within one of Tendulkar's record.

    With the ball, it was India's spinners that did the damage against Australia, but their pace attack is not to be ignored. Jasprit Bumrah leads from the front and took 4-39 against Afghanistan, and while Mohammed Siraj has yet to really click, he came into the tournament as the world's No 1-ranked ODI bowler.
