After registering a 280-run win over Bangladesh in Chennai, the caravan moves to Kanpur, where the Green Park Stadium will host the 2nd and final match of the series. The upcoming match will begin on September 27, and both teams have arrived in the city for the crucial match. 

In the latest events, there are reports that one of the stands in the stadium is deemed dangerous. According to The Indian Express, the Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department (UP PWD) has deemed  the Stand C of the Green Park Stadium as dangerous.  As a result, they have asked the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) to sell tickets with less than half the capacity of the Balcony C Stand.

Green Park Stadium Not In Great Health To Host International Matches

"The PWD has raised some issues and we have agreed that we will not sell all the tickets of Balcony C. We have been told to sell only 1700 tickets for the stand, which has a capacity of 4,800. The repair work will continue for the next couple of days," UPCA CEO Ankit Chatterjee was quoted as saying by a leading national daily.

"This stand won't be able to take the weight of even 50 fans if they start jumping after Rishabh Pant hits a six. This part of the stadium is in dire need of repair," a PWD engineer was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.

Apart from Stand C of Green Park Stadium in bad health,  stadium's floodlights are also an issue as the report further stated that at least eight bulbs of one of the floodlights aren't working correctly.
