BENGALURU: Faizal Haleem and his friends burnt more than just midnight oil in the wee hours of Tuesday to buy tickets for Pakistan's World Cup match against Australia at the M Chinnaswamy stadium on Friday.
The students from Jammu and Kashmir were among the first to queue up for tickets, arriving at the stadium gates at 2am, although ticket counters were not scheduled to open until 10am. "We couldn't buy tickets online and this was our only opportunity to ensure our maiden World Cup experience," said Haleem, who will root for Pakistan.
