The ICC World Cup 2015 has kicked off and India is on a winning spree. The tournament is getting exciting with every passing minute and people are looking for places where live screening of the matches take place. Here’s a list of the most affordable and student-friendly places one can visit.

Pocket Bar

Pocket Bar attracts a lot of people, especially on days when cricket or football matches are screened. The drinks are cheap, the food is affordable, and the music is great. Although they do not have any special deals for this World Cup, the screening begins at 11 o’clock in the morning. Seating is a bit congested here and hence, claustrophobic people should avoid the place.
