World Cup 2023: The revised schedule of World Cup 2023 was announced recently. The date of a total of 9 matches including the India and Pakistan match was changed. India-Pakistan's high voltage match will now be played on October 14 instead of 15. While the match between India and Netherlands will also be played a day earlier. Team India is also going to benefit from changing the schedule of the World Cup. On August 9, the ICC released the revised schedule. Out of 9 matches, 2 matches belong to India.The change in the schedule of the World Cup was done after the request of the board of some countries participating in the tournament and the local police of the host city. In fact, the police of the host city had expressed concern about the security. Only the date of 9 matches has been changed. The venue will remain the same as before. The schedule of some matches has been changed a day or two earlier, while some have been moved forward for 1 or 2 days.Last league match against NetherlandsTeam India can get help due to match reschedule. Actually the Indian team will play the last league match against the Netherlands. This match was earlier to be played on November 11, which will now be played on November 12 and changing the date of this match can help Team India. This match is the last league stage match of the tournament. In such a situation, both the teams will know what they need to do to reach the semi-finals.Net runrate importantIf both the teams are in the middle of the table and there is hope of reaching the top 4 of both, then in such a situation the team will know that by how many runs and how many balls it needs to win first. So that net runrate can be improved. Net runrate is also very important in the tournament. In the previous three editions, teams have also been out of the tournament due to net run rate. In the last World Cup, both New Zealand and Pakistan had the same 11-11 points, but New Zealand got the advantage of better net runrate.
