In what is thrilling news for the cricket fans in the world, the tickets for the upcoming blockbuster encounter between India and Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 to be played in Dubai on October 24 have been sold out.
The two sides haven’t played a single match since their ICC World Cup 2019 encounter in Manchester and the fact that India has never lost to Pakistan in World Cups- 20-over or 50-over- makes this clash even more mouthwatering.
The tickets for this mega clash went on sale on Sunday, October 3, and were sold out in minutes, as per the Khaleej Times report.
Seats in all sections, including General, General East, Premium, Pavilion East, and Platinum, have become unavailable on the Platinumlist website, where tickets for the T20 World Cup are being sold.

As soon as the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the tickets were on sale, thousands of fans flocked to the website to book their seats. Many were placed in an online queue with tens of thousands of users ahead of them. The estimated wait time was more than an hour.
On Sunday night, Premium and Platinum tickets were available for Dh1,500 and Dh2,600, respectively, for groups of two. But as of Monday morning, both have become unavailable on Platinumlist.
The T20 World kicks off in Muscat, Oman on October 17 and will conclude in the UAE on November 14. All UAE venues will be operating at approximately 70 percent of maximum seated capacity in the upcoming men’s T20 World Cup, the ICC said on Sunday.
