If you’ve been anxiously looking forward to this year’s edition of the Indian Premier League, it’s time to get your planners out because the schedule for IPL 2020 is out.
The opening match will be a repeat of last year’s final as Mumbai Indians host Chennai Super Kings on March 29.
While the schedule for the knockouts is yet to be revealed, the final will be held on May 24 with the last league game on May 17.
In a change from previous years, there will be no double-headers on Saturdays. All double-headers this year are scheduled for Sundays, except on march 29 and May 17, which are the opening and closing dates of the league stage.
The IPL is also longer this year, lasting 50 weeks instead of 44. Match timings remain the same – evening matches starting at 8.00 pm IST and afternoon matches at 4.00 pm IST.
