India’s stadia are huge because of the IPL games.
If there is only 20k in a ground, it looks empty.

Wasn't full at the start but there was an estimated 100,000 in. Apparently there were huge queues outside. Looks pretty full nowIs the stadium actually full this time?
Most games including India games haven't had anywhere close to a full attendance.

There’s a good example of an appeal and huge crowd probably influencing an umpire’s decision and where technology helps.

Bumrah and Siraj are a better pair than anyone else has. Add in Jadeja, Ashwin and Yadav and that‘s 5 bowlers hard to get away. Then they have Pandir and Thakur!India have the bowlers for all conditions that's their strength! Whoever plays them in the semi final or final need to get a score around 320 to beat them
Plus home advantage.

If there’s only 20k people turning up in a city of 9 million then it’s beyond shit attendance and is well into the realms of pathetically embarrassing.
So far this World Cup has been a disaster.
Ticket sales were delayed by months, so there’s almost no international fans. Indian fans aren’t turning up probably because of the same ticketing problems. The pitches have been terrible and there’s not been a single close match.
It’s almost as if the BCCI are trying to kill the 50 over game.

I guess so, but all tournaments will have that.If there’s only 20k people turning up in a city of 9 million then it’s beyond shit attendance and is well into the realms of pathetically embarrassing.

How many turned up to Bangladesh vs New Zealand in the last World Cup in England?
