Sell-out at Seddon Park signals imminent arrival of world champions India
For fans around New Zealand, much of the focus of the first 19 days of the ICC Cricket World Cup has been on Pool A - the highlights of which have been sell-out crowds for New Zealand's victories over Sri Lanka, England and Australia.
While the Black Caps still have two pool matches left to play, next week will see the arrival into New Zealand of current ICC Cricket World Cup holders India, who currently top Pool B and, like New Zealand, remain unbeaten in the tournament.
Tournament organisers today announced that India's first match in New Zealand - against Ireland in Hamilton next Tuesday - is the latest to sell out.
Tickets to their other pool match on this side of the Tasman, versus Zimbabwe in Auckland on March 14, are selling fast and another big crowd at Eden Park is anticipated.
