Former England Captain Predicts Blockbuster Match Between Two Arch-Rivals


Former England captain Michael Vaughan has predicted that Pakistan and India will meet in the semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Vaughan predicted on his Twitter account, where he wrote: "I'm predicting a Pakistan-India semi-final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. It would be one of the biggest matches in cricket history."

India and Pakistan are two of the most popular cricket teams in the world, and their rivalry is one of the most intense in sport. The two teams have met in five World Cup matches, with India winning four and Pakistan winning one.

Their last World Cup meeting was in the 2011 semi-final, where India won by 29 runs.

Both India and Pakistan are in good form heading into the 2023 World Cup. India won the recently concluded Asia Cup, while Pakistan finished runners-up.

If Vaughan's prediction comes true, it would be a blockbuster semi-final match that would be watched by millions of people around the world.
