South Africa is on SAST (UTC+2), which is 3 hours 30 minutes behind India, so IST = SAST + 3:30. A 10:00 SAST start is 13:30 in India and a 14:30 SAST start is 18:00 IST. Exact start times are confirmed on the ICC schedule; use a time zone converter to set reminders.

What is the India vs Pakistan head-to-head at World Cups?

India have never lost to Pakistan in a men's ODI World Cup match, with their latest meeting coming in Ahmedabad in 2023. Because bilateral series between the two countries have been suspended since 2012-13, they meet only at ICC events. In 2027 they are scheduled to play on 10 October in Johannesburg and could meet again on 7 November in Cape Town in the Super 7 stage.

How does the Super 7 stage work in the 2027 World Cup?

The top three teams from each group, plus the best fourth-placed team, reach the Super 7. It is a single round robin of 21 matches, with the seven teams dropping into pre-assigned seed slots (India as A1, Australia as A2, Pakistan as A3). No points carry over from the group stage, and the top four after the round robin qualify for the semi-finals on 17 and 18 November.
