Empty Feeling As Fans Trickle In For Cricket World Cup opener

By AFP News October 05, 2023 • 17:34 PM View: 1001

England and New Zealand opened the Cricket World Cup on Thursday faced with a largely empty stadium -- and those in the crowd donned tops and face-paint in the national colours of India.

A ripple of excitement went through the crowd as the England players made their way into the world's biggest cricket arena, a 132,000-seater stadium named after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
