Chennai, Kolkata could well be Pakistan's preferred venues for their World Cup games

The Hindu  

The Pakistan cricket team would prefer playing bulk of its 2023 ODI World Cup matches in Chennai and Kolkata — the two venues where the team has felt safe during its earlier tours, according to ICC sources. The World Cup will start tentatively on October 5, with 46 matches, including final set to be played across 12 Indian cities, including Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mumbai, Rajkot, Bengaluru, Delhi, Indore, Guwahati and Hyderabad, Dharamasala. “A lot will depend on what BCCI and the Indian government decide but given a choice, Pakistan will like to play most of its World Cup matches in Kolkata and Chennai. During the 2011 World Cup, Pakistan's semi-final against India was played at Mohali, which made it logistically convenient for the fans across the border to travel through Wagah Border.
