Security reasons will prevent spectators from attending the Pakistan vs. New Zealand exhibition game for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 on September 29 in Hyderabad.
The organizers took this choice, and the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) will help fans who had bought tickets for the game get their money back through their ticketing partner.

A BCCI representative reportedly said, “The game will be played without spectators and those who have booked their tickets, their money will be refunded,” as quoted by the Indian Express.
In particular, due to events like Ganesh Visarjan and Mila-Un-Nabi occurring on September 28, Hyderabad police have expressed concerns regarding security. They had asked for the game to be postponed, but because of the already crammed schedule, it was agreed to play it in the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium behind closed doors.
