Even though the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 is still 10 months away, the buzz for the showpiece tournament is already hitting the roof.
Such is the excitement that the general ticket allocations for two match-days got sold out on the first day of going on sale to the public.
General Ticket allocations have all been sold for India versus Pakistan clash at the MCG on October 23 and the double-header that features South Africa versus Bangladesh and India versus Group A runner-up at the SCG on October 27.
This comes after 200,000 tickets were sold during the pre-sale period across the 45 matches being played in Australia from 16 October-13 November later this year.
In particular, the craze for the India-Pakistan encounter is on a different level as the tickets were sold within five minutes of going on 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 ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 is scheduled to be held in Australia from October 16 to November 13 and it will be played across seven venues – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Geelong, Hobart and Perth.
