With India finally taking the field in the World Cup on Sunday in their opening match against Australia, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday gave fans something else to cheer about.
The BCCI announced that the board will be releasing 14,000 more tickets for the high voltage India Pakistan League encounter scheduled on October 14 from the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
“The BCCI announces the release of 14,000 tickets for the highly anticipated India v. Pakistan match to be held on October 14, 2023, at Ahmedabad. The sale of tickets for the match will commence from 12 PM IST onwards on October 8th, 2023. Fans can purchase tickets by visiting the official ticketing website at https://tickets.cricketworldcup.com,” the release by the board stated.
This is not the first time that the BCCI was releasing additional tickets for the extravaganza as last month, they had released approximately 400,000 more tickets.
The India Pakistan encounter is the most anticipated match of this World Cup and the BCCI will hope that the stands are packed for it. With the opener between England and New Zealand drawing in a considerable less amount of fans than anticipated, BCCI have now put all its might behind the IND vs PAK spectacle.
The first 4 matches of the month-long tournament is already done with the aforementioned New Zealand- England encounter, Pakistan vs Netherlands, Bangladesh vs Afghanistan and South Africa vs Sri Lanka already in the history books.
The tournament which started on October 5 will end on October 19 with the final match at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
