Arun Jaitley Stadium: On a sweltering Wednesday afternoon at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the west and east stands were steadily being filled up by fans ahead of the league-stage match between hosts India and Afghanistan.

Despite the stadium being 75% full at the start time of the game, the two hill stands and terraces had a lot of vacant seats, which were completely packed by evening as India registered a comprehensive eight-wicket win in front of nearly 35,000 fans, as compared to the official capacity of 37,500.
