Australia vs India T20I series is expected to see huge crowds as more than 100,000 tickets have already been sold and more than 130,000 fans are supposed to attend the matches.

The biggest crowd is expected at the biggest stadium in Australia, The Melbourne Cricket Ground, which will host the second T20I match on Friday, November 23. Over 70,000 fans are supposed to witness a competitive match between the two nations.

A crowd of around 30,000 is tipped at the Gabba for what will be India’s only match in Queensland this summer, while 35,000 fans are projected for Sunday’s third game at the SCG.

India vs Australia T20I match ten years ago holds the record of the highest-ever crowd in Australia with 84,041 fans watching the match. The final crowd on Friday night will depend largely on Melbourne Cricket Club members turning up in large numbers for what will be the first international match at the MCG this summer.

The record crowd figure for a single T20I series in Australia is the 138,059 spectators who attended matches in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney when India toured three seasons ago, a mark that could be in danger this week based on current crowd projections.

India has won seven of their past eight T20Is against Australia, including a 3-0 series sweep in 2016, and 11 of their past 12 T20Is overall.
