World Cup semifinal and final tickets on sale from Monday

Cricket fans can finally get their chance to buy World Cup semifinals and final tickets from Monday when they go on sale for the first time, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said.

"A certain amount of tickets will go on sale online with our official ticket agents Kyazoonga," the ICC spokesman said.

Although the knockout stages do not begin until March 23, there is likely to be a scramble for the semifinal (March 29 and 30) and the final (April 2) tickets after favourites India began their 2011 campaign with a resounding 87-run win over co-hosts Bangladesh.
