No one can do anything regarding this situation just this format is also losing its passion which is surely not good deal for the ICC if these stadiums have no fans then surely this is going to be the end of this format in near future.

It was a surprise that fans did not turn up but i am expecting things to change once the tournaments gets going and once the match is between competitive teams, things will change.

ICC needs to work on having changes in this game with keeping just two formats which will increase fanbase and ending of ODI could be also beneficial for the all stakeholders.

If they are unable to retain the fans then eventually ODI will struggle to attract fans like the Test matches, few ODI are played in the past several years as the focus shifted to T20.

Expected a good match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan, but a disappointing performance by Afghanistan after getting a good start and loosing 10 wickets for 109 runs.

Tickets were pretty expensive, the visa giving situation was a total disaster, marketing was horrible. They could have pulled a lot more fans easily.

Also, I don't think we would get more fans at all unfortunately as the tournament progress (apart from the knockout and India games, which should be full houses). Usually interest tends to be highest at the start and in the end (knockout games).
