    Moreover, the ‘No Mask No Entry’ rule will be strictly followed during the match, informed Cuttack DCP Pinak Mishra. 

    Digital Desk: India and South
    Africa are set to square off against each other in the 2nd T20I of the ongoing
    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.

    According to
    reports, the practice session has been scheduled to be held for a
    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
    SA 1st T20I, South Africa defeated India by 7 wickets.
