Aca-vdca cricket stadium

After a gap of almost 29 months, the city will be hosting an international cricket match. A scheduled T20 match between India and West Indies was cancelled in February due to Covid-19. Vizag has hosted 10 ODIs, four T20s and two IPL matches so far. The ACA-VDCA Stadium hosted the first ODI match between India and Pakistan in 2005 where star cricketer MS Dhoni shot into fame with his famous 145 runs against the arch rivals. Countdown for the T20 match began on Wednesday as the first meeting of the organising committee with various wings of the government was held. The meeting has decided to prepare a complete roadmap for the successful conduct of the T20 match. Both the teams will reach Vizag from Cuttack on June 13. Speaking to mediapersons after the meeting, ACA treasurer SR Gopinath Reddy said they are expecting a full house as the India match has always been a favourite of people of the city and its neighbourhood. There will be no restrictions on the number of spectators and no bio bubble norms for players. A two-level system will be in place to ensure uninterrupted supply of power during the match. Tickets will be sold online two weeks before the match. The ACA is negotiating with online ticketing platforms such as Paytm and Bookmyshow and the successful bidder will be finalised soon, Gopinath Reddy added.

India and South Africa are playing a 5-match T20I series, and the 3rd game of the series will be played at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA cricket stadium in Visakhatpatnam. South Africa have won both of their games in the tournament, and a win in this match will seal the series for them. The Indian team is missing their star players, and the results are also in front of everyone. Rishabh Pant has struggled as captain of the side and his decisions have not been great as well. The spinners of the Indian team have bowled poorly, and they have leaked runs from everywhere.
