The ICC Men's T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan has been sold out with just over a month left for the mega event in Australia.

Tickets for the Super 12 clash between India and Pakistan in Melbourne on October 23 were sold within minutes, "with additional standing room tickets snapped up within minutes of going on sale," the ICC said in a statement on Thursday.

Fans from 82 different countries have purchased tickets to watch the world's best players from 16 international teams, marking the return of full stadiums at ICC events for the first time since the Women's T20 World Cup in 2020.

The Women’s T20 WC culminated with 86,174 fans for the final at the MCG.

A key reason for this enthusiasm for purchasing tickets, according to the ICC, is the accessible pricing for families that has seen over 85,000 children's tickets sold.

Tickets for kids are priced at just $5 for all First Round and Super 12 matches while those for adults start from $20.
