New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham has requested the Indian fans to be “kind” and “resell” their tickets on ICC’s official platform in case they don’t want to come to the final match of the 2019 Cricket World Cup at Lord’s in London on Sunday (July 14).
Th🎃e final match will be played between New Zealand and hosts England.
There were heartbreaking scenes for the Indian fans at the Old Trafford in Manchester when New Zealand won the first semi-final by 18 runs. Many hoped that Virat Kohli and his men would definitely be a part of the final. Thus, the aficionadi even purchased tickets for the final assuming that their team would lift the trophy once again. However, to their dismay, that didn’t happen. Given the current circumstances, Neesham made a special request to the Indian fans.
“Dear Indian cricket fans. If you don’t want to come to the final anymore then please be kind and resell your tickets via the official platform. I know it’s tempting to try to make a large profit but please give all genuine cricket fans a chance to go, not just the wealthy,” wrote Neesham in his tweet.
