Chhattisgarh U19 vs Chandigarh U19: Match-Day Guide

Match snapshot

The BCCI fixture listing has the Chhattisgarh Under-19s v Chandigarh Under-19s Vinoo Mankad Trophy Elite pre-quarterfinal at The Daly College, Indore, on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. The published start is 09:00 IST (03:30 UTC). This is the scheduled start, not a published spectator-gate opening time. No toss, playing XI, result, or official finish time is available in the checked material.

The venue may appear under more than one name: the BCCI listing says The Daly College, Indore, while specialist ground records identify Daly College Ground, also known as Scindia Cricket Ground. Use the full campus address below when navigating rather than relying only on a ground-name search result.

Official address and location

The Daly College’s official contact page gives the campus address as:

Residency Area, Indore - 452001 (M.P.) India

The verified ground record gives the more specific listed form Daly College Campus, 1, Residency Area, Indore, Madhya Pradesh 452001 and the location aid 22.7011903, 75.8916995. Treat the coordinate as a map reference for the campus/ground area, not as confirmation of a public entrance or a particular cricket gate.

The college’s own campus page describes a 118.8-acre campus with playing fields and courts. Its synopsis says the school has two BCCI-approved cricket grounds that have hosted Ranji Trophy matches. Those are campus and venue-context facts; they do not establish that the whole campus, every ground, or its facilities will be open to spectators for this fixture.

For a last-minute access question, the official college contact page lists 0731-2719000, 0731-2719001, and 0731-2719023 and states working-day contact hours of 09:00–17:00. These are general college contacts, not a published match-day help desk. Ask specifically whether the 20 October fixture has an authorised spectator entrance, where visitors should report, and whether any temporary access instruction applies.

Arriving by air

The airport serving Indore is Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport. Airports Authority of India lists the airport address as Indore, Madhya Pradesh 452005. AAI’s airport booking-centre page identifies a dedicated taxi provider in the integrated terminal’s arrival hall and says cab booking is available 24 hours. This is airport arrival information, not a promise of a direct match shuttle or a fixed fare.

Practical arrival sequence:

1. At arrivals, use the airport’s listed taxi booking facility or arrange a driver before landing.
2. Give the driver the complete destination: The Daly College, 1, Residency Area, Indore 452001, and retain the fixture name in case the driver searches for the campus rather than the ground.
3. Before leaving the airport, confirm the driver can stop at an authorised visitor point; the cricket gate and vehicle access have not been published.
4. Keep the final approach flexible. AAI confirms the airport and arrival-hall taxi facility, but no event-specific road closure, drop-off point, campus parking allocation, or gate opening time was found.

AAI lists terminal enquiries at +91-731-2626326-27 and the airport director contact at +91-731-2629455; use the terminal enquiry number for airport questions, not as a match organiser number. The AAI page also lists the airport taxi contact as +91 62620 00062. Verify availability at the time of travel because airport services can change.

The municipal Smart City Indore transport page describes the airport as about 8 km from Indore city; that is broad city context from a general transport page, not a measured airport-to-Daly-College journey estimate. Do not use it to promise a journey time.

Arriving by train

Indore Junction is the city’s main railway station in the Smart City Indore transport overview. Indian Railways’ station-code index identifies Indore as INDB. Check the live rail itinerary and arrival platform before travel; the cited station-code document confirms the code, not a match-day transfer arrangement.

From Indore Junction, the practical last leg is a pre-arranged cab or an auto-rickshaw to the Daly College address. Allow time to identify the correct campus entrance and to deal with any visitor screening. No official fixture shuttle, station collection point, or ground-specific transfer service was found. If travelling with luggage, arrange a vehicle that can carry it and do not assume the campus or ground will provide a storage facility.

The Smart City transport page describes Indore as connected by regular rail services and names Indore Junction as the main station. It also lists city buses, the iBus/BRTS context, cabs, auto-rickshaws, and city vans as local options. The page is useful background rather than a live timetable: it reports 36 city-bus routes and around 170 bus-stop stations, but those figures are not a route recommendation for this match and should be checked against current city information.

Metro route specifics are intentionally not repeated here. Use the future internal Indore Metro guide for that route work when it is available.

Driving, drop-off, and campus approach

Navigate to Daly College, 1, Residency Area, Indore 452001, then ask the driver or security team for the authorised match-day visitor approach. The public evidence confirms the campus and ground identity but does not publish a gate number, gate name, vehicle drop-off point, traffic plan, or temporary road restriction.

Do not direct a driver to an assumed “cricket gate” based only on a map pin. The campus contains multiple fields and facilities, and the map coordinate is a location aid rather than an entry instruction. If a gate attendant redirects you, follow the on-site instruction rather than trying to cross the campus to reach the coordinate.

Spectator entry: what is and is not confirmed

The BCCI match page confirms the fixture, venue, date, and scheduled start. It does not publish a spectator ticket page, gate-opening time, public-entry notice, seat map, parking plan, or access policy. The Daly College pages describe the campus and sports facilities but do not establish match-day public admission.

Therefore:

• Do not assume entry is public or free.
• Do not travel on the assumption that a ticket will be available at the gate.
• Do not assume a college ID, government ID, printed fixture page, or phone screenshot is sufficient; carry identification and fixture details as sensible preparation, but treat any document requirement as unconfirmed until the organiser or gate team states it.
• Do not assume a named gate, visitor lane, or campus parking area.
• If entry matters to your plan, confirm authorised spectator access and the reporting point with the college or match organiser before setting out.

This is especially important because a school campus is not automatically an open public venue, even when a recognised cricket fixture is scheduled there.

Parking and luggage

No ground-specific parking allocation, parking fee, motorcycle area, accessible bay, vehicle pass, or road-side parking permission was found. Plan as though parking is unconfirmed: use a drop-off where authorised, avoid blocking campus access, and ask security where a vehicle may wait. Do not park inside the campus merely because the destination is a college.

No cloakroom, bag counter, locker, or luggage-storage arrangement is published. Travel light and do not bring a bag that would be difficult to submit for inspection or take away if entry is refused. Storage availability must be confirmed on site; it should not be inferred from the existence of campus facilities.

Security, prohibited items, and conduct

No event-specific prohibited-items list was located for this fixture. Do not present a generic stadium list as an official Daly College rule. Before leaving, check any instruction issued by the BCCI, teams, college, or on-site security. Expect that security may inspect belongings and may refuse items for safety or campus reasons, but the exact rules, including treatment of outside food, drink containers, cameras, umbrellas, helmets, and large bags, remain unconfirmed.

The safest preparation is to carry only essential personal items, keep identification and travel information accessible, and comply with the gate team’s instructions. Do not take photographs of restricted campus areas or interfere with team, official, student, or vehicle movements.

Toilets, drinking water, and accessibility

The college’s public campus material confirms extensive grounds and sports facilities, but it does not confirm that spectator toilets, drinking-water points, shaded seating, medical support, wheelchair routes, accessible toilets, or accessible parking will be available at this match. Ground-specific wheelchair access is expressly unresolved in the verified venue record.

Practical preparation:

• Use a toilet before entering the campus area and ask at the authorised entrance for the spectator toilet location if entry is permitted.
• Do not assume a public drinking-water station. Ask whether water is available and whether outside containers are permitted under the match-day security rules.
• If you need step-free access, a drop-off close to the viewing area, accessible seating, or an accessible toilet, contact the college in advance and ask for the exact route and gate. Do not rely on the campus’s general sports facilities as proof of accessibility.
• Carry medication and personal essentials in a form allowed by security, and plan for sun, heat, or a long wait because no spectator shelter or seating specification was published.

Timing and return travel

The verified start is 09:00 IST on 20 October 2026. No gate opening time and no official finish time has been published. Arrive with a substantial buffer before the scheduled start for finding the correct entrance, possible campus screening, and any access decision. Because the fixture is a minor one-day match, breaks, interruptions, and playing conditions can change the end of the day; keep return rail, airport, and onward road plans flexible through the afternoon rather than booking a tight connection immediately after the scheduled start or an assumed finish.

If you must catch a train or flight, arrange a conservative departure plan and confirm the authorised exit and pick-up point with security before settling in. The BCCI listing confirms the start and venue, not a duration or release time.
