India advanced to the tournament’s semi-finals and will take on New Zealand at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium after winning all nine of their league matches in the 2017 ODI World Cup.
Prior to that, Mumbai police had received reports of ticket resale and are actively investigating the matter.
Tickets priced between INR 25,000 and INR 50,000 are being sold, according to Praveen Munde, DCP (Circle-1). He said that an additional investigation is presently in progress and that his team has already gotten in touch with the accused.
“The World Cup match ticket for New Zealand vs. India, which normally costs between Rs. 2500 and Rs. 4000, was being sold for Rs. 25000–50000. Our team got the information, got in touch with the accused, and things got done. The inquiry into the matter is still ongoing, according to Praveen.
This is nothing new in the ongoing competition, though. Numerous such instances were discovered during the league stage, but thus far neither the cricket board nor the municipal authorities have been able to stem the flow.
However, India’s matchup with New Zealand in the semifinals is a rematch of the competition from 2019. The Men in Blue have a painful history of losing to the Kiwis in knockout matches, as evidenced by their recent defeat in Manchester. against November 15, though, the Rohit Sharma-led team will be confident in their chances as they take on New Zealand because they are playing in fantastic form.
Since their current playing lineup has been effective, India is unlikely to alter it. Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli each scored fifty runs in their last league match against the Netherlands, while Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul each scored a century. All of the hitters are hitting well right now. Bowlers have also performed admirably thus far.
New Zealand strikes the ideal balance in this regard. In the most recent encounter, Trent Boult displayed his class, while youngster Rachin Ravindra has been one of the tournament’s performers. As a result, when these two teams play, a fantastic match is anticipated.
