The madness of the fans regarding the biggest match of the cricket world i.e. India-Pakistan match has reached its peak. During the upcoming ODI World Cup on 10 October 2027, both the arch-rival teams will face each other at the Wanderers ground in Johannesburg, South Africa. The rush for tickets for this high-voltage match can be gauged from the fact that about 84 lakh people are in the race to get tickets for this stadium with a capacity of only 34,000 spectators.

The final match will be played on 21st November

The upcoming ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2027 is going to start from October 7, whose first match will be played between India and Australia like the 2023 World Cup final. The title match of the tournament i.e. the final match will be held on November 21 at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. There is a tremendous craze among the fans for this final match and about 9 lakh people are vying for its tickets.

Despite one-sided matches, the charm of India-Pak match remains intact.

If we look at the statistics of the last few years on the field, the competition between India and Pakistan has been largely one-sided. In the last 9 meetings between the two teams, the Indian team has had the upper hand. Pakistan recorded its last win against India in the 2022 Asia Cup. Despite this, the intoxication of this match is taking its toll on the fans, due to which the demand for tickets has reached a record level.
