New Delhi. The schedule of the second phase of IPL 2024 has been announced by BCCI. There were high expectations regarding the number and timing of matches to be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, especially as there were no matches in Delhi in the first leg. Additionally, Visakhapatnam has been named as another home ground for Delhi Capitals this season. Now, it has been confirmed that Delhi will host a total of 5 matches, with the first match being against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 20 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The interesting thing is that one match of Delhi will be played during the day. After their opening match, Delhi Capitals will play their second match against Gujarat Titans on April 24 and Mumbai Indians on April 27 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. While the first two matches will be evening matches starting at 7:30 PM IST, the third match will start at 3:30 PM IST.
The IPL action in Delhi will conclude with two matches in May. On May 7, Delhi Capitals will face Rajasthan Royals and on May 14, they will face LSG.
