Cricket fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the T20 World Cup, set to take place in the U.S. and Caribbean in June. Additional tickets have been released for the tournament, but the most highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan in New York is already sold out.

The match between the two cricketing powerhouses has been oversubscribed more than 200 times the allocation, according to the International Cricket Council. This has made it the hottest ticket of the tournament, with no more tickets available for purchase. Only four out of the 55 matches in the tournament do not have public tickets available, including the tournament opener between the U.S. and Canada in Dallas, India and Canada on June 15 in Lauderhill, Florida, and the final in Barbados.

For the matches with tickets still available, prices start at $6 for games in the Caribbean and $35 in the U.S. Demand is expected to be fierce for the new tickets released for matches involving India, who are based in the U.S. during the group stage. The modular 34,000-seat Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in Eisenhower Park, 30 miles east of Manhattan, is currently under construction in preparation for the tournament.

While the India-Pakistan match is already sold out, tickets are still available for other matches, including Netherlands-Nepal, U.S.-Pakistan, and Sri Lanka-Bangladesh in Dallas, as well as Pakistan-Ireland in Lauderhill. The T20 World Cup is expected to stir interest in cricket in the U.S., where the sport is currently irrelevant among locals. The tournament is also hoped to build on the momentum from Major League Cricket, which surpassed financial expectations in its debut season last year.

The ICC has also announced that the T20 World Cup will have reserve days scheduled for the semi-finals and final, with specific rules in place for the group stage, Super Eight phase, and knockout matches.

As cricket finally realizes its long-held dream of tackling the coveted American market, all eyes will be on the T20 World Cup, with the India-Pakistan match expected to be the biggest draw of the tournament.
