According to well informed sources, the rates were still being considered by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). According to proposed rates, a ticket for the Patron's Enclosure will be Rs 500, Players Enclosure Rs 300, Citizens Enclosure Rs 200, General Stand Rs 40, Students Enclosure Rs 25 and Ladies Enclosure Rs 50.

``The rates are quite cheap and have been proposed keeping in view that there was a much favourable response,'' sources added.

However, there was a possibility that the rates might be revised by the authorities because it is crunch match between the traditional rivals. ``We know that whatever may be the rates, there will be a huge turn-up by the spectators because India are playing here after eight years. ``The second match of the three-match series is always as important as the opener,'' sources in the PCB said.

The match here will be a joint venture between the PCB and the Karachi City Cricket Association, sources added.
