Pakistan had made a request to the Indian Cricket Board and the Cricket Governing Body for a change in the venue when it came to the India vs Pakistan game. They wanted the game to either take place in Chennai, Hyderabad or Bangalore, but the Indian Cricket Board rejected their proposal. So it will be played at Ahmedabad. 10 teams will face off against each other in the World Cup with the games being conducted in 10 venues across the country.
