Cricket fans heading to the Arun Jaitley Stadium for the ICC T20 World Cup match between India and Namibia on February 12, 2026, have received an important update. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced that train services will run late into the night. This arrangement helps spectators reach their homes safely and comfortably after the game ends.
New Metro Timings and Extra Trips
The DMRC is extending the last train timings by approximately 1 to 2 hours across all lines. Commuters can expect trains to be available until 12:00 AM to 12:30 AM from terminal stations. To manage the heavy rush of fans, the metro authority will operate 76 extra trips on the match day. The nearest stations for fans to access the stadium are Delhi Gate and ITO on the Violet Line.
Entry Rules and Traffic Advisory
The Delhi Police has issued strict guidelines for people entering the stadium. Security personnel have deployed AI-integrated CCTV systems for safety. Fans must note that laptops, cameras, power banks, helmets, and large backpacks are completely prohibited inside the venue. Traffic diversions will remain in effect on roads around the stadium from 6:00 PM to 11:30 PM. Authorities strongly recommend using the Metro instead of personal cars to avoid traffic congestion.
