The 50-over CWC began in India.</p> <p>"To facilitate the movement of spectators during the Cricket World Cup 2023 matches (day and night) scheduled to be held on 7th, 11th 15th, 25th October and 6th November 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium (Ferozeshah Kotla Grounds) in New Delhi, the Delhi Metro has made minor changes in its last train timings on all lines (except Airport Express Line), the DMRC said in a statement, as per PTI.</p> <p>Notably, the old stadium is located near the&nbsp;Delhi Gate Metro station on the Violet Line which operates from Kashmere Gate station to Raja Nahar Singh station. A huge rush is expected at these stations once the match ends and hence the Delhi Metro&nbsp;will be performing extra train trips (around 24) by extending its last train timings by about 30 minutes, on all lines.&nbsp;</p> <p>The statement said that DMRC will also deploy additional personnel and Customer Facilitation Agents (CFA) at the Delhi Gate Metro station in view of the expected rush of spectators on the match day, PTI stated in its report.</p> <p>Meanwhile, New Zealand won the first match of the <a title="World Cup 2023" href="https://ift.tt/TcGq3Ce" data-type="interlinkingkeywords">World Cup 2023</a> by defeating England by 9 wickets.
