The Indian Premier League final will be played in Ahmedabad, the country’s cricket board said yesterday as it announced the venues for the playoffs of the T20 tournament.

The IPL resumed last Saturday after being paused due to the conflict between India and Pakistan, forcing a revised schedule with the final now taking on June 3 -- nine days later than initially planned.

Mullanpur, in New Chandigarh, will host the first qualifier and eliminator on May 29 and May 30. The world’s biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad will host the second qualifier on June 1 followed by the final two days later in the 18th edition of the IPL.
