The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday morning announced that the final set of tickets for the knockout stages of the ongoing ODI World Cup will be released on November 9. The ticket sale will go live at 8 PM IST on the official ticketing website. The tickets for three crunch matches - semi-final 1, semi-final 2 and the final - will be released and fans will have the opportunity to get their hands on the much-sought-after tickets.
"As the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 reaches its business end, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will release a final batch of tickets on Thursday," the BCCI said in a release.
"The tickets for the three marquee games – 1st semi-final (15th November), 2nd semi-final (16th November) and the all-important final on 19th November will go live at 8:00 PM on 9th November on the official ticketing website at https://tickets.cricketworldcup.com. This will be the last chance for cricket fans wanting to experience the magic and thrill of the World Cup and to witness in person the crowning of a new champion," the release added.
As things stand right now, India's semi-final match will take place on November 15 (Wednesday) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. India's opponent is yet to be finalised as three teams are in the mix of finishing in fourth place on the points table. If Pakistan finishes in fourth place, then India and Pakistan will cross swords in the semi-final and the match will be staged at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata and not in Mumbai.
The Men in Blue have played stellar cricket in the competition so far, winning all the eight matches played so far. India's last match of the league stage is against the Netherlands, which will take place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on November 12 (Sunday).
