This showdown between India and Pakistan transcends the realm of sports, becoming a cultural spectacle. The Narendra Modi Stadium, renowned for its colossal capacity, is expected to host a packed house for this epic encounter. It will be the first time these cricketing giants face off in India since their intense clash during the 2016 T20 World Cup in Kolkata, where the hosts emerged victorious.
"Indian Cricket Board announces the release of 14,000 tickets for the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan match to be held on October 14, 2023, at Ahmedabad," the board said in a statement.
The opener between England and New Zealand recorded 47,000 in attendance
Cricket enthusiasts and fans alike will have the opportunity to secure their seats for this historic fixture when ticket sales open at 12 noon IST on October 8th, 2023. Tickets can be purchased through the official ticketing website.
The Narendra Modi Stadium has already witnessed record-breaking attendance during the World Cup's opening match. In a spectacular display of enthusiasm, 47,000 spectators filled the stands to witness the clash between England and New Zealand, marking the highest attendance ever recorded for a World Cup opening game.
While hosts India commence their World Cup campaign on Sunday against Australia in Chennai, Pakistan showcased their prowess with a victory over the Netherlands on Friday in Hyderabad. The weather report states a 10% chance of rain in Chennai. Both of India’s warm-up games had to be washed out due to rain. As such, we are yet to see if the hosts get a full game in their campaign opener on Sunday.
