Rains usually like to make an appearance when big-time cricket arrives in this city of beautiful beaches and fascinating history. So it wasn’t much of a surprise to find the airport rather wet on Thursday evening, the eve of the World Cup warm matches.
Four warm-up matches are scheduled to be played at the Greenfield Stadium, and that would be some consolation for the city’s passionate cricket fans who had been hoping for a few World Cup games. In the first of the warm-up games, South Africa takes on Afghanistan on Friday, from 2 p.m. onwards.
