Match to start at 8.30 am:
Nov 3: The first of the five-match ODI series between India and Pakistan will start early. Umpires Ian Gould and AM Saheba, along with match referee Roshan Mahanama, had inspected the ground today and official sources confirmed that match would start at 0830 hrs instead of 0900 hrs.
Matches in Guwahati start earlier than other centres in India as the sun set in the city much earlier than the other venues. According to official sources, there would be hardly any play possible after 1610 hrs and if both the sides have to play 50 overs each then the match should start half an hour earlier than the schedule time.
Meanwhile, security at the Nehru Stadium has been beefed up. The security personnel have been informed properly about their role during the match.
The gate of the Nehru Stadium would open around 0600 hrs and security personnel would check every spectator before they would be allowed to go inside the stadium.
More then a thousand security personnel, many of them in plainclothes, would be stationed in different galleries to keep vigil on the crowd.
