Before the match, there was a threat to the stadium from a terrorist group. They sent an email to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and demanded money and the release of a jailed criminal. The police traced the email to Europe, and they are taking the threat seriously. They will review and improve security if needed for the World Cup games.

The World Cup started on October 5 with England playing New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Pakistan won their first game against the Netherlands by 81 runs. Now, they want to make it to the top four to get to the semi-finals.
