India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I: Dark clouds loom over the second match of the ongoing three-match T20 International series between India and New Zealand, slated to be played tomorrow i.e. on November 19 in Ranchi.
As per a report in news agency ANI, a petition has been filed in the Jharkhand High Court with a demand to postpone India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I match to be played in Ranchi on Friday or to allow the match to be played only with half the capacity of the stadium.
Advocate Dheeraj Kumar of Jharkhand High Court has filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in the High Court against allowing 100 per cent spectators for the second T20 match between New Zealand and India at JSCA stadium on Friday.
In his petition, Dheeraj Kumar said that when the temple and all the courts and many other offices in the state are working with 50 percent staff due to Coronavirus, then under what rule did the state government allow full occupancy for India-New Zealand 2nd T20I match inside the JSCA stadium.
