AHMEDABAD: The deterioration of India-Pak relations has affected the sports sector as well as the diplomatic relations between the two countries. As a result, India-Pak cricket matches with large fans are currently only held in ICC-directed tournaments. It is for this reason that Sri Lanka had to prepare the stage for the Indian team in the Asia Cup, which is going to be hosted by Pakistan.

Despite the controversies, it is almost certain that there will be a flood of fans to watch the two arch-rivals clash in the ODI World Cup, which is to be held in India in a few months. This is evidenced by the fact that hotel tickets in the vicinity of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the India-Pak match will be held on October 15, have already sold out. It was during this time that the media reported that fans from abroad were rushing to book hospital rooms near the stadium. With this, many people have doubts as to why the fans who come to watch the India-Pak match are scrambling for hospital rooms.

With most rooms booked ahead of the World Cup, hotels have hiked rates by up to 20 times, prompting fans to look for other options. Hospitals also offer special offers for cricket fans, including full body checkups and meals. With this, the fans decided that instead of booking hotel rooms by spending a high price, they could have a health check-up and watch the game at a lower cost. It is also reported that the hospitals are providing cricket fans with a choice of deluxe and suite rooms with various facilities.
