Almost 8.4m Ticket Requests Made for Pakistan, India World Cup Tie, 10 October 2027
Wanderers in Johannesburg holds only 34,000 fans, so most supporters will miss out on the biggest game of the group stage.
Pakistan vs India– (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – Almost 8.4m ticket requests have been made for the Pakistan vs India group match at next year’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
The 2027 tournament will be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. It is the first time three nations have shared the event.
Pakistan and India will meet on 10 October at the Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg. The ground holds just 34,000 fans, so most people who applied will miss out.
The same venue will also stage the final on 21 November. That match has drawn almost eight million ticket applications of its own.
The tournament starts on 7 October. The opening game is a repeat of the 2023 final, when Australia stunned India in Ahmedabad.
Pakistan vs India is one of the biggest games in cricket. It is also the most valuable one for money.
Recently, though, the contest has been one-sided. India have won their last nine meetings.
Pakistan’s last win over India came in the 2022 Asia Cup.
Both teams sit in the same group. They will face Australia, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and one qualifier.
The other group includes England, South Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and a qualifier.
The top three teams from each group move on to the Super 7 stage. The best fourth-placed team also goes through.
From the Super 7 stage, the top four sides will reach the semi-finals.
