Why can’t both semi finals and Finals be held in Dubai?

Pakistan didn’t qualify for the knockouts. So why can’t all knockouts be held in Dubai ?
It is more feasible solution than Aus and SA moving to Dubai and one Team returning back ?

Because Pakistan is supposed to host the tournament.
Are you actually hosting it ? When final maybe held in Dubai if India qualifies for it ?

Now that Pakistan hasn’t qualified, maybe allow others to play in Dubai .

The ridiculous part is India playing its matches in Dubai, not the final being held in Pakistan.
Agree with it . All other teams should have refused to play in Dubai resulting in tournament proceeding without India.
But now the best solution is to move all knockouts out of Pakistan

Whatever it takes!!!
Hopefully, Pakistan now get to play all their games in Sri Lanka in the 2026 T20 WC and are obviously already the firm favorites there.

I am sure the kind brethren who are seething about the advantages India had in this tournament would feel the need to post the same about Pakistan every day then too.

Nah they won’t
That fraud @Molehill still hasn’t accepted that all the 3 WTC finals being held in England is unfair to Asian sides .
That England is such a crap side that they couldn’t make to final to any of 3 is massive testimony to what a propaganda Bazball was .

That would be a logistic nightmare

What are you going to do with all the people who pre ordered tickets for Lahore?

Yes, that is my gripe. This is Pakistan's tournament and their cricket people's tournament to host and enjoy and part of it has been taken away. I know politics is **** but it all feels disrespectful like how Trump/Vance treated Zelensky.

Ha. Sounds like a solution concocted straight from the current incumbents of the White House.
Well then they should have scheduled it better . Why Dubai SF couldn’t be on Thursday?
Maybe this was the plan all along . Make garbage schedule and later blame it all on BCCI .
