The second occasion was on the same Australian soil during the 2015 ODI World Cup the night before the India-Pakistan match in Adelaide. Adelaide is a small city but on that day the fans of India and Pakistan from all over the world converted it into Lahore-Delhi. Hindi songs were playing on the streets and people of both the countries were celebrating.
A similar atmosphere was seen in Melbourne today. About 5 thousand people were present to see Team India’s net practice. If you are not surprised to hear 5000, then let me tell you that in countries like New Zealand, Zimbabwe, West Indies and South Africa, so many people are not present for international matches many times. In such a situation, it is an unmatched thing in itself to experience this fair of thousands of cricket lovers from England, America, Canada, Panama, Africa and which countries of the world do not know. These spectators can make the Melbourne match with a capacity of 1 lakh a very memorable one.
The only fear and apprehension is that the rain should not disturb the match. But it is a matter of consolation that the forecast of the Meteorological Department did not prove to be correct for two consecutive days, first on Friday and then on Saturday and local people believe that the above would also like to see this match of India-Pakistan.
