The Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday announced the schedule for the playoffs of IPL 2022.

The playoffs are scheduled to take place in Kolkata and Ahmedabad.

IPL 2022 Play-offs To Begin From 24th May

Kolkata and Ahmedabad both cities will get to host 2 games each for the playoffs. While Kolkata will host Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator, Ahmedabad will host Qualifier 2 and the Final.

Qualifier 1 will be played on 24th May at Eden Gardens. It will be played between sides who will be finished in the top 2 of the stages. While the Eliminator will be played between the sides who will finish 3rd and 4th on the points table. It will also be played at the same venue on 25th May.

Qualifier 2 is scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad in the New Narendra Modi Stadium on 27th May. It will be played between the loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of Eliminator 2.

The all-important Final is slated to be played on 29th May at the same venue. It will be played between the winners of Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2.

Right now the 10 teams are battling it out in the league phase which is being played entirely in Maharashtra across Mumbai and Pune. The games are being played at the Wankhede Stadium and Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai and the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
This will be the first time the Narendra Modi Stadium will host a high profile clash. It was reported that it might host the T20 World Cup final last year but since the tournament was shifted to the UAE, it could not happen.

The stadium though had hosted IPL games last year in the first phase of the tournament.
