New Delhi: In a repeat of last edition’s final, defending champions Mumbai Indians and runners-up Chennai Super Kings will open the 13th IPL at the Wankhede Stadium on March 29.
The franchise-based event will start 11 days after India’s home ODI series against South Africa ends on March 18 in Kolkata.
The Indian Premier League will release the schedule for the knockouts later, but the final is scheduled for May 24. The organisers have done away with the Saturday double-headers, resulting in an extra week in the league phase. Six double-headers will take place on Sundays. (PTI)
