The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the schedule for the second leg of Indian Premier League (IPL). The tournament had to be postponed in May after being hit by COVID-19. The remainder of the T20 extravaganza was then moved to UAE. BCCI had earlier revealed the tournament will be played between September 19 - October 15 and have officially confirmed the same now. Defending Champions Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will battle it out in the opening clash in Dubai. As many as seven doubleheaders will be played in the tournament, the first of which will be played on September 25. All the matches will start at 7: 30 PM IST. In the case of doubleheaders, the first game will start at 3: 30 PM while the second one will begin at 7: 30.

As per the new schedule, DC will play three afternoon matches while CSK, MI, KKR and PBKS will play two afternoon games each. The final game of the league stage will be played on October 8 while the playoffs will begin on October 10 with the first qualifier in Dubai. The eliminator and second qualifier will be played on October 11 and 13 in Sharjah. The final will be played on October 15 in Dubai. Meanwhile, two prominent franchises DC and CSK are planning to reach Dubai by August 20.

“We want to be there by August 15, latest by 20th and we have informed the BCCI that we want to be there by then. We are hoping to get the required permissions, without which the logistical plans will be difficult to execute, said CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan to Cricbuzz.
