The BCCI on Tuesday released the schedule for the 2019 Indian Premier League (IPL) fixtures between April 6 and May 5.
The BCCI had earlier announced a provisional two-week initial schedule owing to the uncertainty surrounding the dates for India’s upcoming general election. With the Election Commission of India announcing the dates for the country’s general elections recently, the BCCI had released the schedule for the remainder of the league stage.
The schedule for the play-offs and the final are yet to be announced by the governing body. However, according to a report by ESPNcricinfo, the final of the IPL will be held at Chennai on May 12. The same report goes on to add that the first Qualifier will be held on May 7 followed by the Eliminator on May 8 while the second Qualifier will take place on May 10.
The format for the 2019 edition will follow the standard double round-robin approach of the eight franchises playing seven matches each at home and as many of them away.
The IPL will get under way on March 23 with defending champions Chennai Super Kings taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chennai.
