Brabourne Stadium
The Brabourne Stadium is all set to host its first one-day international since the 2006 Champions Trophy final when India take on the West Indies in the fourth ODI today. Brabourne was awarded the match a couple of weeks ago after the Mumbai Cricket Association's administrative issues forced the BCCI to shift the game from Wankhede Stadium.

This forced the CCI authorities to change their pricing strategy. Yesterday, they decided to sell East Stand tickets for Rs 800 each. The move did wonders and the tickets were sold in a flash. When the online sale of tickets started on October 23, only some East Stand tickets were priced at Rs 800. The rest ranged from Rs 3000 to Rs 5000.
