Thousands of fans are still searching for tickets online, showing how popular this final has become.
India has already secured its place in the final, and they will face either New Zealand or South Africa, depending on the result of the semi-final. The big match is scheduled for March 9 at the Dubai International Stadium, and fans are eager to see which team will lift the trophy.
Despite the high resale prices, excitement remains strong among cricket lovers. Many are hopeful that they will still be able to get a ticket at a reasonable price. However, with such high demand, the final is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling and expensive cricket matches in recent years.
