The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially revealed ticket prices and a digital sales plan for the highly anticipated three-match T20I series against Pakistan, set to kick off on July 20 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
Digital-First Ticketing Strategy
In a move to streamline access and enhance the fan experience, the BCB will begin selling tickets online starting July 15 through its official e-ticketing portal. Supporters can choose their desired match, gallery, and seating block, with payments accepted via digital wallets or bank cards. Each registered user can purchase up to four tickets per match, with both digital and printed ticket formats valid for stadium entry.
The BCB has also announced that unsold online tickets will be made available at designated ticket booths near the stadium on match days. Booth locations will be published on the BCB’s digital platforms before each fixture.
Ticket Price Breakdown
To accommodate a range of fans, ticket prices have been tiered as follows:
- Tk 300 – Eastern Gallery
- Tk 400 – Northern Gallery
- Tk 800 – Shaheed Abu Sayed Stand and Club House
- Tk 1,500 to Tk 3,500 – Lounge and International Gallery
- Tk 2,500 – Grand Stand
Series Schedule and Venue
All three T20Is will be hosted at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, with matches scheduled on July 20, 22, and 24, starting at 6:00 PM (local time).
Pakistan Team and Injuries
The Pakistan squad, confirmed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on July 8, will be led by Salman Ali Agha. However, the team will be missing key players, including vice-captain Shadab Khan, who recently underwent shoulder surgery in the UK, and fast bowler Haris Rauf, sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained during his stint in the Major League Cricket (MLC) in the USA.
Pakistan Squad:
Salman Ali Agha (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Ahmed Daniyal, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Haris (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Saim Ayub, Salman Mirza, Sufyan Moqim.
The team is set to arrive in Dhaka on July 16, just after Bangladesh concludes its ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka, which is currently level at 1-1.
Anticipated Rematch
This series will mark the first encounter between the two sides since Pakistan swept Bangladesh 3-0 at home earlier this year in May. With both teams preparing fresh lineups and Bangladesh yet to announce its squad, fans are looking forward to a competitive and engaging series under the lights in Dhaka.
