Pakistan, a former world champion, is now in Hyderabad in preparation for the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. They reached Telangana’s capital city as they entered India for the first time since 2016. The Green Brigade defeated Australia and New Zealand in their two exhibition games, and on October 6 and 10, respectively, they will face the Netherlands and Sri Lanka in World Cup matches. Now, the Pakistani cricketers have something to say about the food.
They will go to Ahmedabad for the intense game against India following these contests. In the meantime, Pakistani athletes like captain Babar Azam, pacers Hassan Ali and Haris Rauf, and opening batter Imam-ul Haq compared the biryanis of Karachi and Hyderabad prior to the approaching competition. In a video sent to the Cricket World Cup Instagram account, all of these players praised Hyderabadi biryani as being superior to Karachi’s.
Pakistani cricketers in ODI World Cup:
From inside they must be feeling unlucky to be a Pakistani, poor guys even don't get salary from PCB and infrastructure in Pakistan, they don't play IPL which keeps them away from stardom which other cricketers enjoy in the world like Rashid Khan earns 5 times of PSL prize money

The 1992 World Cup champions had a subpar pre-tournament schedule. Although Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed’s batting was a plus for them, their bowling overall appeared lifeless, with the exception of one session against Australia on October 3. 345 runs against New Zealand were not successfully stopped.
Not to be forgotten is spinner and number eight hitter Rachin Ravindra, who began the batting and scored 97 runs. On the other side, Pakistan’s bowlers managed to give up 351 runs at the end of the innings after bringing Australia to 174/5. The Asian team must now step up if they want to perform better in the competition.
