Previously, Western Railway also confirmed that a special train would be arranged for Sunday’s final. This train will run between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. This will provide cricket lovers with an easy and affordable travel option.

Huge crowd expected

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is expected to be packed for the T20 World Cup final. India defeated England by seven runs to reach the final for the second consecutive time, while New Zealand defeated South Africa in the semi-finals to reach the final.

Glamour galore

A closing ceremony will be held at the venue before the first ball is bowled in the final. Puerto Rican Grammy Award-winning singer Ricky Martin, ‘Dandiya Queen’ Falguni Pathak, and Bollywood playback singer Sukhwinder Singh are set to entertain the 132,000-capacity stadium. The ICC has also organized a musical entertainment show before the toss.

This will be the second time India will play a World Cup final in Ahmedabad. The previous occasion, in 2023, ended in heartbreak when Australia silenced the crowd to win the 50-over World Cup.
