Laying all speculation to rest, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed to the franchisees that the Indian Premier League 2020 will start on March 29. In a rematch of last year’s final, defending champions Mumbai Indians will host Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on March 29.
The IPL Governing Council has on Saturday night also confirmed that there will be no double headers on Saturdays. All the six double headers during the season have been scheduled for Sundays.
The IPL 2020 will start 11 days after India’s home ODI series against South Africa ends on March 18 in Kolkata. The BCCI has sent the final fixtures with the franchises on Saturday, stating that six double-headers will take place only on Sundays.
The last league game is scheduled for May 17, between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai in Bengaluru.
Rajasthan Royals might play some of their home games at Guwahati. No other franchisee has opted for a second home venue.
Though the dates and venues for the knockout phase have not been confirmed, the final has been slated for May 24 in Mumbai.
