CT Final - Who will get more supporters at the Oval?

India or Paskistan

Is this a question? It will be 95% Indians.

 

[PakLFC]

Most will be Indian's. On a separate note why is the match not being played at the headquarters of Cricket, Lords?

 

[shokz1408]

Definitely India haha they would have booked final tickets before the start of the tournament expecting their team to be there.

Was wondering the same thing. The finals of the 2013 and 2004 editions weren't at Lord's either.

 

[ManFan]

Yet another example of Pakistan dominating India.

Yes it's bizarre. But I think it's more to do with playing on 3 pitches (Edgbaston, Cardiff, Oval) and no more, which is more disheartening in my opinion since England have probably the best batch of stadiums in the world. Partly due to their domestic games this has happened and probably scheduling (takes 4-5 hrs to get from Oval to Old Trafford) so playing on 3 just games things easier I suppose.

And like I said, been using Oval this tournament so it'd be puzzling to use Lord's now.

More Pakistanis than Indians!

Come again? England stadiums are dumps at best. Aus stadiums are the best, India next.

Hopefully there's a good split of fans. Expecting a good atmosphere which makes for even better viewing.

 

[pak4life]

I would say 85% will be Indian. Lots of Indian would have purchased the tickets before the tournament started knowing their team had a good chance of reaching the final. Others purchased once they knew Bangladesh would be in the semis. Pak fans interest only started after the semi final win.

 

[Brodipet_baadshah]

Is dis even a doubt..it would be 99.1% indian supporters nd wont b suprised if half of dem booked finals tckts when the fixtures were published

 

[msb314]

There will definitely be more Indian fans.

 

[Sirris]

I will be surprised if majority of the stadium isn't covered in blue.

 

[ssuhaide]

Will be like an Indian home game. I'd be surprised if we see more than a few hundred Pakistan fans. It's still Ramadan and temperature set to go through the roof.

Its a shame they can't hold back the sale of a large percentage of tickets until the finalists are known (like the FA cup final) and then distribute an equal allocation to registered fans of both nations.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Final crowd watch

Did Indian fans buy up all the tickets before the match or will there be a decent Pakistan fan presence?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Looks like Pakistan has at least managed a sizeable presence in the ground, enough to make some decent noise when Azhar smacked that 6.
