Melbourne Stadium is said to be one of the largest stadiums in the world and can hold around 100,000 people at a time. An Australian publication revealed that more than 60,000 pre-sale tickets have been sold for the Pakistan vs India match, while fans can join the waiting list to get tickets.

The upcoming event has already turned heads and marks the first time that Australia will host the men’s T20 cricket world showpiece, with matches to be played in Adelaide, Brisbane, Geelong, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
Last year the two teams met in an international T20 match and Men in Blue were beaten by the Babar Azam-led team by a staggering 10-wicket margin.
