THE ASIAN CRICKET COUNCIL (ACC) has issued a strong warning to fans after unauthorised ticket sales appeared online for the high-voltage India-Pakistan match scheduled for 14 September in Dubai.
The alert comes amid unprecedented demand for one of cricket’s fiercest rivalries, which could be repeated up to three times in the tournament — once in the group stage, once in the Super Four, and potentially in the final. Organisers have urged fans to purchase tickets only through official channels to avoid falling victim to fraudsters.
The ACC stated, “Official tickets for the DP World Asia Cup 2025 have not yet been released. Any tickets currently on sale are unauthorised, fraudulent, and will not grant entry.”
India will begin their campaign against the UAE on 10 September, with the marquee clash against Pakistan scheduled for 14 September in Dubai. Their final group match against Oman will take place on 19 September in Abu Dhabi.
Following the group stage, the tournament advances to the Super Four, with the top two teams from each group qualifying. Should India finish at the top of Group A, all their Super Four matches will be in Dubai. A second-place finish would see them play one match in Abu Dhabi and two in Dubai. The Super Four stage runs from 20–26 September, with the final scheduled in Dubai on 28 September.
