Cricket fever grips Bangalore

Published December 8, 2007

BANGALORE, Dec 7: Despite the inclement weather here, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) are expecting a bumper turnout for the third and final Test between India and Pakistan.

According to the organizers, ticket sales have yielded positive results in the past three days as the locals are queuing up in large numbers for the tickets.

The 55,000-capacity M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is set to host the final Test from Saturday. The KSCA is expecting full house on the first two days.

“There is a great demand for the tickets. The response has been positive and we are expecting a large turnout,” Sanjay Desai, the KSCA assistant secretary, said. “Daily tickets are in demand than seasonal tickets because it all depends how the match progresses.”
