Yup. With ENG having no batting practice. Looks like to be an highscoring event though. At Motera, it'll be a beltar of a pitch.

Possibly might have offended or cracked jokes on India. We don't take it too kindly these days...

In fact, even our own comedians aren't spared and for good reason!

Anyway, I checked the weather in Ahmedabad and it looks like even Say Jhah won't be able to disrupt the match today.

Wasn't this match sold out? Looks like about 10 people remembered they had tickets.

Well BA has got this correct in game. Modi stadium with no crowd pops

It's the heat. I'm sure crowd will make inroads towards the evening

Yeah that’s the case in Pakistan as well, games are sold out but no one shows up in the afternoon heat unless it’s a big match.

To be fair, I would rather go to my Mum's and sit under the air conditioner than go outside in 35 degree heat.

Don’t think it was, they had to distribute tickets as part of a goodwill gesture.
