Team Indian and Australian cricket teams reach in Guwahati for the second Twenty20 match at the newly-built design Barsapara Stadium, which is getting ready to make its international debut for India as well for ICC. About a thousand delightful fans congregated at the airport to seize the entrance of the two teams as the city prepares itself for its first international match after a gap of seven years.

Nearly 37,000 of capacity as estimated for Barsapara stadium now has become the new cricketing intention of the city. Tickets for the match have been sold out well in advance and there is a long demand for more but ACA secretary Pradip Buragohain sounded helpless. "The day has finally arrived," Buragohain said while conducting a series of meetings for the smooth conduct of the match.

"We hope this is just the beginning and there are more to come." The mood was evident as fans shouted 'India India' at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport when both the teams arrived in the evening by a chartered flight. Such was the craze that they did not even spare cricketer-turned-commentator Brett Lee, who was mobbed while coming out of the airport before being escorted by police.

The host is leading the three-match series to 1-0 and now it seems as they got the upper hand on the visitor as they already won the ODI series 4-1 against them.
