Officials announced on Friday that more than 600,000 tickets had been sold for the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia, praising the high demand for a number of sold-out blockbuster matches. Before the big guns arrive on October 22, the international spectacle begins on Sunday with the preliminary round. The host cities are seven Australian cities. In front of a full house at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Australia’s first match as the defending champions versus New Zealand, a rematch of last year’s championship match, will be played.
The following night’s India-Pakistan match is also sold out, with over 90,000 spectators expected to pack the Melbourne Cricket Ground after additional standing-room-only tickets were snatched up in less than 10 minutes.
There aren’t many seats left for the first game of the tournament, which will see Sri Lanka against Namibia before UAE takes on the Netherlands at the 36,000-seat Kardinia Park Stadium in Geelong.
The ICC T20 World Cup director Michelle Enright said, “We’re pleased that both the Super 12 stage’s first weekend and the event’s opening match in Geelong this Sunday are expected to draw sizable crowds.”
“Seeing packed stadiums for cricket in October will be amazing.”
