Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), hosts of the inaugural Asian Test
Championship final, is unhappy with the disappointing sale of tickets
over the last two days. The tickets of the five-day match between
Pakistan and Sri Lanka, scheduled to start at the Bangabandhu
National Stadium tomorrow morning, are on sale through eleven
branches of Al Baraka Bank.
According to BCB vice-president Tanveer Mazhar Islam, tickets worth
about Taka 14 lakh were sold till yesterday. All the tickets of the
five-day match is valued at more than two crore Taka.

different had the final been played between India and Pakistan.
