ODI arrangements excellent:
Nov 3: The ICC match referee for the city ODI and former Sri Lankan Test cricketer Roshan Mahanama, umpires Ian Gould and A M Saheba visited the Nehru Stadium ground here this morning and expressed their satisfaction over the arrangements for the November 5 Indo-Pak match.
While English umpire Gould termed the arrangements as excellent, Indian umpire Saheba said people can expect a good match.
Gould, who is here for the first time, said it’s a tremendous ground and both the pitch and the outfield have been prepared in a nice way.
Mahanama said he would like to pray to the weather gods that rain does not spoil the match like the last India-England match. He was also quite happy with the arrangements. The ICC match referee, however, did not want to comment on the crowd behaviour. But he expects a sporting crowd to cheer both the teams.

India-Pak Guwahati ODI
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.
