During the last couple of decades, Team India have played white-ball cricket the world over, but never has any match witnessed a small turnout of Indian spectators. But that’s exactly what happened at the Pallekele Stadium, where barely 1,000 people turned up for the Asia Cup match between India and Nepal. Of this, the majority were local Sri Lankans besides over 300 exuberant Nepal supporters which further lessened the number of Indian spectators.
A major reason for this shortage of Indian fans is the Asian Cricket Council’s indecisiveness over selecting venues and late announcements, making it difficult for fans to plan their travel to this remote Sri Lankan city. Hopefully, the upcoming Super 4s matches will witness healthier support for the Men in Blue when they take on Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh or Afghanistan.
