The preparations at the Ferozeshah Kotla ground for the high profile last one-dayer between India and Pakistan continued to be under doubt with Delhi Lt Governor BL Joshi on Thursday expressing dissatisfaction over them.
Joshi, after inspecting the stadium which is undergoing major renovation, said there was need for improvement in a "few areas" in the arrangements for the match which will be watched by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf.
"We are not fully satisfied ... We have to still improve on a few areas," he told reporters without specifying the areas of shortcomings.
However, he promptly added that authorities were "attending to" the problems and he was hopeful that all necessary arrangements would be in place by Sunday.
Besides Singh and Musharraf, a number of VVIPs including UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee are expected to join about 25,000 fans to watch the tie.
Preparations at the stadium have been in the eye of a storm with civic and fire authorities refusing to give clearance for holding the match which had prompted Delhi and District Cricket Association to threaten that the match could not be held.
