Cricket lovers are enthusiastic to watch the nerve-breaking Pakistan–India showdown at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 and can now secure seats at one of the most affordable rates ever offered for this iconic rivalry.
Ticket prices
The minimum ticket price for the T20 World Cup 2026 Pakistan vs India clash on February 15 at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium has been set at LKR 1,500 (Rs. 1,364), making it arguably the lowest starting price for an Indo-Pak World Cup match.
The announcement came as online ticket sales for the tournament opened on Thursday. More than two million tickets have been made available in the first phase of sales, covering matches across both host nations, India and Sri Lanka.
How to buy the tickets?
Tickets can be purchased through the official portal, tickets.cricketworldcup.com, which redirects buyers to BookMyShow, the ICC’s ticketing partner for the event.
The 2026 T20 World Cup will run from February 7 to March 8. Pakistan will feature in the tournament opener on February 7 in Colombo, facing the Netherlands, before meeting India in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the event.
The launch of ticket sales also comes amid ongoing criticism of the ICC’s promotional campaign after the governing body released an official poster for the tournament that did not feature any Pakistani players.
The ICC faced strong criticism after releasing the 2026 T20 World Cup promotional poster without including any Pakistani players, a move that sparked anger among fans and renewed claims of bias.
The artwork highlighted stars from several major teams but left out Pakistan. The omission fuelled debate over the ICC’s leadership and the growing influence of the BCCI, with social media users accusing the council of sidelining Pakistan during a key phase of the tournament’s marketing campaign.
