Guwahati, Nov 7 (PTI) Starved of international cricket for more than two years, Guwahati, the commercial capital of the North East, is gearing up to host the India-Australia sixth one-dayer tomorrow.

The city was robbed off India-England one-dayer scheduled on November 29 last year due to 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks but this time around there is an air of festivity with the capital of Assam getting ready to host its 14th one-dayer.

Thanks to cricket fans from the seven north eastern states flogging into the city for the match, the hotels here are doing a brisk business. A three-tier security cover has been in place with central paramilitary forces and Assam Police battalions being pressed into service.

"The mood this time is very vibrant. It's more than two years now since the people here watched an international match. Also, the series is now interestingly poised," Assam Cricket Association media manager Pabitra Gogoi said.
