Due to political tension between Indian and Pakistani cricket fans, the people of India have shown immense resentment after terrorist attacks in the Pehalgam Valley.
As a result of this displeasure, several vacant seats have been noted in the stand of Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Several tickets were reportedly unusable for the much -awaited India vs Pakistan match.
The Times of India report had confirmed that India vs Pakistan tickets became unheard to an extent, as the stadium has a capacity of about 25000. However, the reports were rejected by the Emirates Cricket Board.
The match between India and Pakistan is the first time in the Asia Cup 2025 that the two countries have contested in the field of cricket since the events in April and May. They were first painted in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
“While some areas of the stadium are filled, many upper levels and other stands remain empty, unlike the normal sales-out crowd for this rivalry,” said a user on X.
“I assure you: I have never seen a stadium so empty in my life, that too is for an Indo-Pak match,” the other commented.
“The seats are vacant in the India-Pakistan match for the first time,” posted a third user.
India dominates Pakistan in Thrilling Asia Cup competition
India, despite all obstacles, agreed to take Pakistan in an Asia Cup competition at Dubai International Stadium on 14 September. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav showed himself a clear mentality of non-cooperation from the toss.
Salman Aga won the toss and batted first. However, Surya looked happy despite bowling first. The Indian bowlers once again did a shocking job. With two quick wickets within the power play, one was crushed by Indian spinners.
Kuldeep Yadav (3), Exer Patel (2), and Varun Chakraborty (1) all bowled some amazing mantras. Later, the Indian batsmen had a great start, in which Abhishek Sharma took him to a flyer.
Despite some decline of wickets and slow scoring rates in the middle overs, captain Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma absorbed the pressure and handled the situation to take India on the line in a minor chase.
