IPL 2018: Change in home fixtures for KXIP

The KXIP will now play four home matches in Indore and three at Mohali.

The Delhi Daredevils’ first home game against KXIP on 8th April will now be an away fixture.

The IPL Governing Council on Tuesday tweaked the schedule of the upcoming edition, considering logistical issues pertaining to the home matches of Kings XI Punjab. The KXIP will now play four home matches in Indore and three at Mohali.

All IPL franchises are required to play four matches at their designated home venue. An exception has been made this season owing to the closure of Chandigarh Airport due to expansion work for 20 days from 12th May to 31st May 2018 and also on all Sundays of April.

As a result, the Delhi Daredevils’ first home game against KXIP on 8th April will now be an away fixture.

The revised schedule is as below.

Match No.	Time	Date	Match Details	Venue
2	4 PM	8th April	KXIP vs DD	Mohali
12	8 PM	15th April	KXIP v CSK	Mohali
16	8 PM	19th April	KXIP vs SRH	Mohali
22	8 PM	23rd April	DD v KXIP	Delhi
34	8 PM	4th May	KXIP vs MI	Indore
38	8 PM	6 May	KXIP  vs RR	Indore
44	4 PM	12th May	KXIP vs KKR	Indore
48	8 PM	14th May	KXIP v RCB	Indore

 

Following the IPL GC meeting, it has been decided that Pune will host the Eliminator and Qualifier 2 on 23rd and 25th May respectively.
