Indo-Pak Guwahati ODI

ULFA not to disturb Indo-Pak Guwahati ODI:

Nov 3: Guwahati wants to bury the ghost of the last ODI it hosted as it prepares for the first match of the Indo-Pakistan cricket series on Nov 5.

Images of a burning stadium and helicopter hovering few feet over the wicket in a futile attempt to dry the moisture during last year's Indo-England match still haunts cricket lovers across India.

Assam Cricket Association (ACA) said tickets were sold out.

ACA is not taking any chances. They have put out advertisements pleading to the
militant group United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) and students organizations not to do anything untoward during the match.

India have played eight matches here, winning four of them and losing three. One match against England was abandoned last year. But, they have never played against Pakistan on this ground.

ULFA said there was no security threat from them on the match.
