Ticket demand has soared for the high-voltage Pakistan-India clash in the 2025 Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
According to reports, organisers have said 90 percent of tickets have already been sold, with most seats in the general enclosure snapped up by eager fans.
Interestingly, this comes after earlier claims in the Indian media that nearly half of the tickets were still unsold. The latest update from the organisers directly contradicts those reports, confirming that demand has remained sky-high from the start.
As of Thursday evening, the cheapest ticket cost AED 750 (about PKR 57,000), while premium tickets were going for AED 3,500 (around PKR 270,000). Only a handful of premium seats remain available. Long queues continue to form at ticket counters near the stadium, while online sales are also moving fast.
To give fans one last chance, organisers opened a fresh online sales window on Thursday evening.
On the field, India heads into Sunday’s game after thrashing the UAE by nine wickets in their opening match. The Men in Blue bowled out the hosts for just 57 runs and chased the target inside 4.3 overs. Pakistan will begin their campaign on Friday against Oman at the same venue.
India and Pakistan have faced each other 13 times in T20 internationals, with India leading the head-to-head 10–3. Their last meeting came on February 23 during the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai, where India won by six wickets.
