Ticket details for all 13 matches are available on the board's official website but the tickets for the much-awaited India vs Pakistan match were sold out within an hour on Thursday evening.
Pakistan will kick off the tournament against Nepal in Multan on August 30 and then will clash against India on September 2 in Kandy. India, Pakistan and new entrants Nepal are placed in Group A while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan compete in Group B. India and Pakistan can potentially clash in Super 4 and again if both teams make the final on September 17.

PCB made the tickets available for the India-Pakistan game at 7:00 PM IST and the VIP tickets were sold out within an hour. But fans were amazed to see the prices for the India-Pakistan game but that didn't stop them from crashing the counter.
