ICC T20 World Cup 2022: India vs Pakistan match tickets sold out within minutes

The general ticket allocations for the high-octane ICC T20 World Cup 2022 clash between India and Pakistan at Melbourne Cricket Ground were sold out within minutes of going on sale to the public.

This comes after 200,000 tickets were sold during the pre-sale period across the 45 matches being played in Australia from October 16-November 13 later this year. Such was the demand to see one of world cricket's biggest rivalries, the allocations for the India v Pakistan match were sold within five minutes of going on sale.

Over 800,000 fans are expected to attend the global showcase for men's T20 cricket when it comes to Australia for the first time,



and there are still plenty of opportunities for fans to secure seats for all other fixtures in the general public sale.

ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 Local Organising Committee CEO Michelle Enright said: "The response from the fans has been fantastic and we're proud of the fact we were able to reward our fans who purchased tickets to the postponed event in 2020 and those who registered early with us to get priority access to tickets in the pre-sale."

The Men's T20 World Cup 2022 is slated to be held in Australia between October 16- November 13 and it will be played across seven venues -- Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Geelong, Hobart and Perth.
