Tickets for India-Pakistan Women’s T20 World Cup clash sold out: ICC
India, Pakistan rivalry draws huge crowd as tickets sell out instantly at venue
BIRMINGHAM: Tickets for the highly anticipated ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan have been sold out the International Cricket Council ICC confirmed on Sunday.
The ICC made the announcement through its official social media platforms, advising fans not to visit the designated ticket counters for Sunday’s blockbuster fixture, as additional tickets will not be available at the gates.
"Edgbaston is SOLD OUT for today's T20 World Cup double-header," the ICC posted.
"A cracking day of cricket is underway as Netherlands take on Bangladesh before the India-Pakistan match. No additional tickets will be available at the gates," it added.
It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan women have featured in every edition of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup since its inception in 2009. However, despite consistent participation they have never progressed beyond the group stage.
Sana Mir led the side in the first five editions from 2009 to 2016 with Pakistan exiting at the group stage each time. Javeria Khan captained the team in 2018 but the result remained the same.
The trend continued under Bismah Maroof who led the side in the 2020 and 2023 editions while Fatima Sana in her maiden assignment as captain also saw Pakistan bow out in the group stage in 2024.
Historically, India hold a dominant record in the rivalry, having won 13 of the 16 T20 internationals between the sides, while Pakistan have claimed three victories.
