The International Cricket Council (ICC) has initiated ticket sales for the semi-finals and final of the T20 World Cup 2026, starting on February 24. Interestingly, the venues for these crucial matches have not been finalized, leading to significant confusion among cricket fans and stakeholders. The ticket sales announcement was made via a press release where the ICC indicated that the sales commenced at 7 PM IST on the same day.

Fans have been presented with options to purchase tickets for potential matches in Kolkata, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Colombo. However, it remains unclear which city will ultimately host these matches. This uncertainty is particularly concerning given that the tournament is jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, yet political tensions involving Pakistan have necessitated a hybrid model, forcing Pakistan to play all of its matches in Sri Lanka.

The implications of this confusion are substantial, especially for fans awaiting to watch their favorite teams in the semi-finals and finals. If Pakistan reaches the knockout stages, the decision on the actual hosting venue of the semi-finals and final will become increasingly urgent, impacting not only the ticket holders but also the overall logistics and atmosphere surrounding these high-stakes matches during the T20 World Cup.
