Cricket Game: Hundreds of India against Pakistan Asia Tickets Cup Cricket news

Fans and experts blame hot weather and continuous tensions between the two countries for dozens of tickets that are not sold.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Dozens of tickets for the India and Cricket match in Pakistan in the 2025 Asian Cup in Dubai are still not sold this morning, which is what happens rare for the cricket match between Archrivals in South Asia.

With less than eight hours before the start of the game at 6:30 pm (14:30 GMT), tickets were available on Sunday in three positions and hospitality department from Dubai International Cricket Stadium on the official Tickets site of the tournament.

The seats were also available in one of many hospitality holders, at a cost of $ 1,645 each.

While the championship organizers – the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and the UAE Cricket Council (ECB) – have not made an official comment on the tickets that are not sold, local fans blame the hot weather in the Gulf nation as a major frustration factor.

Shahid Khan, a Dubai resident, told Al -Jazeera: “September is one of the most hot months in this part of the world, with high temperatures and extreme humidity, which makes it difficult to be in the open air even in the evening,” Shahid Khan, a Dubai resident, told Al -Jazeera.

“While players may receive their salaries to play in this weather, fans have to spend large sums of money to buy tickets. Why do they do this to suffer in heat?”

It is expected that the temperature in the evening, near the start of the match, will be at 36C (95f), with moisture that comes in contact with 50 percent.

Al -Jazeera has contacted the Administrative Coordination Committee, but it was said that the numbers of selling official tickets will be confirmed once the match begins and no comment will be made on sales until then.

Cricket experts believe that the very tense political relations between India and Pakistan, who participated in an intense four -day conflict across the border in May, should be blamed.

“Some fans decided to boycott the match in order to record their protest against their government’s decision to move forward in the match despite the continuous bitterness against the neighbor,” said Coldep Lal, Indian writer Coldep Lal.

Although it is not customary to discover vacant seats in cricket matches in the United Arab Emirates, the Cricket match for men in India in Pakistan in any part of the world sells like hot cakes on most occasions.

Tickets are usually sold within a few hours of sale, especially for global and regional championships such as the World Criminal Court World Cup or the Asian Cup.
