India and Pakistan share a great cricketing rivalry and the two teams’ fans wait for them to lock horns. However, as the teams do not play bilateral series anymore, the fans get to see them taking on each other either at ICC events or multi-nation events like the Asia Cup. For the same reason, there is a huge demand for match tickets, and it’s often seen that these tickets for India vs Pakistan games get sold out in no time.
Now, as India and Pakistan are set to lock horns on 28 August in the 2022 Asia Cup, the tickets for the match have gone online. And as per reports, due to massive demand, these match tickets are getting sold on the black market as well where fans are ready to spend over INR 15,000 for one ticket.
Notably, India and Pakistan are placed in Group A where they will be joined by a Qualifier. The two teams will open their campaign against each other on 28 August.
