With intent to ensure a fair opportunity and equal distribution of tickets amongst all cricket enthusiasts, the fans were required to register. An online registration form indicating their preferred match would enroll them automatically into a draw. Winners would be chosen randomly and will receive a payment link in order to complete their booking.

The window to register has been initiated February 25 onwards, with a window of seven days only ending on March 2.

To ensure maximum people get to watch the game, not more than 2 tickets per person can be purchased for any of the India matches, or either of the semi-finals or the final.
