Fortunately most of the matches are scheduled to start at 7:30pm Indian time. By then, it is cooler out there. Anyway, Asian cricket boards hardly care about the fans. Facilities are poor, and all those who are involved (state associations, police, caterers, contractors.etc) treat the fans like cash cows. But then, cricket sells in India like no other sport. You can easily get tens of thousands of fans, even on weekdays. I was hoping that things will get better under Jay Shah and Anurag Thakur, but the situation hasn't changed a lot.
Buying tickets for marquee matches and entering the stadium is still a big struggle but the hygiene situation is improving, slowly but moving in the right direction.
182 doesn't look safe, also it's a new ground so there is hardly any sample size but overall this should be a template as far as competitiveness goes in franchise cricket.
