The upcoming ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 is just on the horizon, with all ten participating teams gearing up for the competition by playing two warm-up matches each. The highly-anticipated tournament is set to kick off in grand fashion on October 5th, featuring the opening clash between New Zealand and England in Ahmedabad. The Cricket World Cup 2023 will culminate with the final match on November 19.
Team India, on the other hand, will commence their campaign on October 8th, a Sunday, when they face off against Australia in Chennai. Australia boasts an impressive track record in the competition, having clinched a remarkable five ODI World Cup titles. In contrast, Team India and West Indies have each secured two ODI World Cup championships. Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and England have one World Cup victory each, making it an intriguing contest to determine this year’s champion.
Additionally, the official broadcaster of the World Cup 2023, Star Sports, has grabbed the spotlight with the release of the widely popular ‘Mauka Mauka’ advertisement, building anticipation for the India vs. Pakistan World Cup showdown scheduled for October 14th at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. This fixture has fans eagerly awaiting the clash, as it has historically been one of the most riveting encounters in cricket.
The ‘Mauka Mauka’ advertisement gained immense popularity among cricket enthusiasts during the 2015 ICC ODI World Cup. This memorable campaign highlights India’s dominant record over Pakistan in World Cup matches, with Team India maintaining a commanding 7-0 lead in their head-to-head encounters in the ICC ODI World Cup.

Meanwhile, the ‘Mauka Mauka’ storyline portrays the Pakistan cricket team as perennial underdogs seeking another opportunity to defeat India in the World Cup, despite historical evidence suggesting otherwise. Notably, Team India and Pakistan recently clashed twice in the Asia Cup 2023 tournament.
