Pakistan and New Zealand's warm up match will take place without spectators. The International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup 2023 warm-up game between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played behind closed doors due to "security concerns" in Hyderabad, India. The decision to hold the Green Shirts and Kiwis warm-up game without spectators came after the Hyderabad city police expressed their inability to provide adequate security for the game scheduled to be held on September 29. The police cited two major religious festivals, Ganesh Visarjan and Eid Milad-un-Nabi in the city. "The processions will go on late into the night and the local police would not be able to provide adequate security for a match of this scale," a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official said. Both teams will continue to be fully secured when at the stadium and while traveling there. The BCCI will arrange for ticket reimbursements for the impacted spectators in coordination with the hosting association and ticketing partners. Due to security concerns voiced by the local police, the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) had already asked for a change in the schedule for consecutive matches set for October 9 and 10, featuring New Zealand-Netherlands and Pakistan-Sri Lanka, respectively, in the city. Security officials had complied with this request, despite the fact that a last-minute change in dates was impractical. It should be mentioned that Pakistan will compete in a total of eleven World Cup games, with four of them two group games and two warm-up games taking place in Hyderabad. On September 27, The Men in Green are anticipated to arrive in Hyderabad through Dubai. All other matches are day-night fixtures starting at 1:30 pm (PST), with the day matches beginning at 10:00 am Pakistan Standard Time (PST). In Kolkata, Pakistan will play if they make it to the semifinals. In the event that India advances to the semifinals, they will play in Kolkata unless they are up against Pakistan.
