India will open their ODI World Cup 2023 campaign against Australia in Chennai on October 8 while the much anticipated mega clash between India and Pakistan will be held a week later in Ahmedabad according to BCCI's draft schedule for the tournament.

"The BCCI shared the draft schedule with the ICC, which then sent it to the participating countries for feedback before a final schedule is put out early next week," ESPNCricinfo reported on Monday.
