The BCCI vs PCB tug of war finally ended as both the parties reached a common ground. The India Cricket Team won’t travel to Pakistan to play their matches as the tournament will be held in a hybrid model. All of India’s matches will be held at a neutral venue, i.e. Dubai.
If India goes on to reach the knockouts, then the first semis will be held in Dubai. And consequently, if India reaches the final then the venue of the final will be Dubai, else it will commence in Lahore.
India play Bangladesh first, followed by the highly anticipated clash against Pakistan and then the final group stage match against the Kiwis.
