The first T20I match of the three match series between India and Sri Lanka which was scheduled to be played at Barsapara stadium, Guwahati, got abandoned due to rain and it was quite a disappointment for the huge number of fans who came to see the match in the stadium.
The officials of the stadium are also to be blamed for the call-off of the match as the covers used by them to cover the pitch had leakage and water reached the pitch through the holes. However, the officials tried a lot to dry the pitch as they were seen using hair dryers and steam iron for this purpose but it was of no use in the end and the umpires were not happy with the conditions.
The cricket board can also avoid such situation by making sure that the matches are scheduled only after checking the weather forecast of that particular location, considering the fact that we are so technologically advanced that we can get almost perfect forecast of the weather.
However, one positive thing that has come out of this disappointing situation is the beautiful singing of Guwahati public which sang, “Vande Mataram” in complete coordination. Despite the fact that the stadium was full, the crowd sang in sync and the video was shared by the official Twitter handle of BCCI with the caption, “Guwahati, you beauty 😍”.
