Match between Punjab and Delhi will be held again
Amidst the tension between India and Pakistan, the BCCI postponed the IPL for a week. 58 matches of the 18th season had been played, including the match played between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala. This match was stopped midway, so it was inconclusive. However, now the BCCI has decided to hold this match again. On May 24, both the teams will clash in Jaipur.
Two double headers in the new schedule
The BCCI on Monday announced the schedule of the remaining 17 matches of the IPL 2025 season. The remaining matches will be played at six grounds including Bangalore, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The new schedule also includes two double headers. The first double header is on May 18. On Sunday afternoon, Rajasthan Royals will face Punjab Kings in Jaipur, while on the same day in the evening, Delhi Capitals will face Gujarat Titans in Delhi. At the same time, the second double header will be on May 25. On Sunday afternoon, Gujarat Titans will face Chennai Super Kings, while Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Kolkata Knight Riders at 7:30 pm.
