The tickets for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup go on sale from today. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed the development as the governing body has decided to give free entry to the fans aged under 18 in an attempt to inspire the upcoming generation. The tournament is set to take place from October 3 to 20 in the United Arab Emirates with Dubai and Sharjah hosting all the matches.
Earlier, the World Cup was scheduled in Bangladesh but violence due to political unrest in the country forced ICC to move the tournament to the UAE. A total of 10 teams will fight it out for the glory as Australia will look to defend their title having already won it six times. Team India is slotted in group A alongside New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia.
The marquee game between India and Pakistan is scheduled to take place on October 6 at 3:30 PM IST and 340 Rs (15 AED) is the minimum ticket price for the clash. Interestingly, a day pass has been introduced for the T20 World Cup. Fans attending the double-header match days will benefit as a single ticket will grant them access to both matches. Tickets for the Women's T20 World Cup are available on the official website.
The tournament not will get underway with the match between Bangladesh and Scotland on October 3 at 3:30 PM IST while Pakistan will get their campaign underway against Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka later in the evening.
