It is important to note that the warm-up match between Pakistan and New Zealand will be held behind closed doors. The BCCI issued a statement on Monday confirming that spectators will not be allowed to watch the match live at the stadium because of religious activities that will take place in Hyderabad on the same day. The local law enforcement agencies will be busy handling the crowd at these religious activities and will not be able to provide security at the stadium.
