series. The IND vs SA 2nd T20I will be held on June 12 (Sunday) at Barabati
Stadium in Cuttack.

The cricket
teams of both India and South Africa have reached Barabati Stadium in Cuttack
for net practice.

period of three long hours. The players of the two teams were taken to the
stadium amid strict security.

It has been
learned that spectators are not permitted to bring food or water bottles into
the stadium since the Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) has arranged for vendors
to sell these products. They are also prohibited from carrying any item that
could be thrown inside the stadium, such as a helmet, lighter, dagger,
matchbox, or lathi.

Cuttack DCP
Pinak Mishra has requested that attendees bring cash to purchase food at the
stadium's cafes. During the entry checkpoints, all bags will be inspected.

Notably,
tomorrow at 3 pm, the gates of Barabati Stadium will open. The spectators'
entry gate numbers can be found on their tickets. During their entry, they are
not permitted to carry any electronic devices other than mobile phones.

Moreover, the
‘No Mask No Entry’ rule will be strictly followed during the match, informed
Cuttack DCP Pinak Mishra. He added that all the arrangements have been made
inside the stadium for a hassle-free match.

It may be
mentioned that during South Africa’s tour of India in 2022, a total of five
T20I games will take place. In the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma,
India is led by Rishabh Pant. South Africa is led by Temba Bavuma. In India vs
