India-Pakistan Cricket World Cup semi-final stadium entrance to start at 6:00 am
Mohali, March 29, 2011 (PPI): Believe it or not, spectators are expected to start moving into the Mohali stadium here by 6 Wednesday morning though the India-Pakistan Cricket World Cup semi-final starts only at 2.30 p.m.
Indian Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal urged ticket holders to reach the venue at least three hours before the match starts so that they do not face inconvenience due to strict security restrictions.
But cricket officials here say they expect spectators to start getting into the stadium at 6 a.m.
Strict security is in force since the two most prominent spectators will be Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh of India and Yousuf Raza Gilani of Pakistan.
Mohali cricket stadium is considered one of the best in India. Its pitch is reputedly lively and supporting to both batsmen and pace bowlers. It can accommodate 28,000 spectators.
