The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is currently hosting the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after the BCCI decided to move it from India due to hike in coronavirus cases in the country.
The 13th season of the tournament will take place from September 19 to November 10 behind closed doors across three venues of UAE namely Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah.
Defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on three-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2020 opener in what would be the repeat of last year’s final.
