– A very rich cricket board, yet unable to provide proper drainage system for all the grounds.
– If Ind vs Ban draws, qualifying for WTC Final will be difficult.

Is Kanpur bigger than Greater Noida?
No Rain since last 2 hours and no sign of play to resume.
Why play in a dirty stadium just because it is history when you have a new stadium 🏟️ in Lucknow which is just 2 hours away from Kanpur.

It is high time BCCI implements proper drainage solutions. They have the resources, but the lack of urgency is costing us. We are in danger of losing an easy win and important points in the WTC. #Cricket #BCCI #INDvsBAN pic.twitter.com/N8g36AiD0F
