Chennai’s MA Chidambaram stadium hosted the last allocated match of the ODI World Cup, with South Africa vs. Pakistan delivering an electrifying one-wicket win for South Africa. What stood out most was the remarkable crowd support, distinct from many other venues, as they cheered for both teams and celebrated the game itself. South African cricketer Tabraiz Shamsi and Pakistan’s team director, Mickey Arthur, praised the Chennai crowd’s enthusiasm. Even when Pakistan faced Afghanistan, the Chennai crowd, known for supporting the game rather than one side, celebrated both teams. The knowledgeable and passionate Chennai crowd made the ODI World Cup truly memorable, irrespective of the teams playing.
