Dubai:  Tickets for the one-day international series between Pakistan and Australia went on sale at Dubai Sports City 's cricket stadium starting on Thursday.

The sides will open the 25,000 capacity stadium with the first of a five- match, ODI series on April 22. The second game of the series is on April 24 and following three further ODI's in Abu Dhabi, the teams return to DSC for a one-off Twenty20 match on May 7.

"This is a defining moment in the history of Dubai Sports City ," said Macky Dudhia, General Manager, Sports Business of Dubai Sports City . "We are very proud to welcome Pakistan and Australia to Dubai Sports City for the first ever international cricket to be hosted in Dubai.

"It promises to be a great series between two sides that approach the game with a very positive attitude. We anticipate cricket fans of all nations living in the UAE will want to come and watch two of the most attacking cricket teams competing hard. We will also cater to this wider fan base in what is truly a fantastic stadium."

The Dubai Sports City cricket stadium has been designed to provide a world class setting and is ideally suited to act as a neutral venue for world cricket.

The circular, bowl-shaped stadium has the facilities to host Test matches, one-day internationals and Twenty20 tournaments.
