New IPL teams to be announced on Oct. 25
The IPL Governing Council on Tuesday decided that the two final league stage games will start concurrently at 7:30 p.m. IST instead of the usual double-header with one game starting in the afternoon.
This is being done to avoid giving any unfair advantage to a team in case the last match has a side with a mathematical chance of qualification.
“In a first for the IPL, the last two league matches before the VIVO IPL 2021 Playoffs will be played concurrently,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a release.
