Mumbai: Mar 19, 2012
Indian Premier League (IPL) 2012 will be played at 12 venues over 54 days in India. Starting from April 4, 2012 to May 27, 2012 there will be 72 matches in the fifth season of IPL. The preliminary schedule has the nine franchises (teams) playing in this fifth edition.
Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra are set to be a part of the Indian Premier League’s opening ceremony to be held at YMCA College of Physical Education on April 3. Apart from Bollywood stars, the ‘Opening Nite’ will also feature performance from a leading international artist, an IPL release stated.
The opening ceremony will begin at 7:30 pm, however, the venue gates will be thrown open to the audience from 5:00 pm.
The event will also feature all nine team captains taking the MCC Spirit of Cricket pledge, which has been on display since the competition’s inception in 2008.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) organisers have tweaked the schedule of the fifth edition of the Twenty20 tournament because of the upcoming Municipal Elections in the Capital in mid April.
According to the new schedule, Delhi Daredevils will now lock horns with Deccan Chargers on April 19 instead of April 14 at the Ferozh Shah Kotla stadium.
The Qualifier 1 play-off match will feature the teams that finished the regular season in first and second place, while the eliminator play-offs will feature the sides that finished the regular season in third and fourth place.
As previously announced, the M A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will host the Qualifier 2 play-off match and the final.
Chennai Super Kings will play Mumbai Indians in the opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2012 on April 4, at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Time table of IPL 2012 – Season 5 with schedule, venue & ground details is given below.
