India and Pakistan will once again take on each other when the two sides lock horns in the World T20 2021 fixture in Dubai.
The excitement level among the cricket fans about the clash is immense and an instance of this was witnessed when the tickets of seats in sections including the General, General East, Premium, Pavilion East, and Platinum were sold out within a few hours after they were put on sale.
It was earlier expected that the encounter between the arch-rivals would take place behind closed doors due to Covid-19 situation but recently, the International Cricket Council (ICC) informed that the stadiums in UAE will operate at 70 percent capacity for the tournament.
The premium ticket was sold for 1,500 dirham which is equal to INR 30,000 and the platinum ticket was sold for 2,600 dirham which is close to INR 52,500.
This would be the first time since the 50-over World Cup in 2019 when the two sides will be up against each other.
The World T20 is slated to begin on October 17 with co-host Oman facing PNG in the opener while India will begin the campaign on October 24 with the match against Pakistan.
India lifted the World T20 trophy once back in 2007 after beating Pakistan in the final and ended as the runners-up in 2014 after suffering a defeat against Sri Lanka under the captaincy of MS Dhoni who will now be with the side as the mentor for this edition. Pakistan were also crowned as champions in the format when they clinched the cup in 2009.
The title clash of this year’s competition is scheduled to be held on November 14 in Dubai.
