The BCCI is looking to restart IPL 2025 from May 16 and could extend the tournament till May 30. The remaining matches are expected to be held in just three cities Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. A new schedule will be shared with all the teams by Sunday night.

Since the IPL was paused for a week, the board feels they now need a few extra days to finish the tournament.
That’s why the final might be held on May 30 instead of May 25. A BCCI official said, “We lost one week, so we are looking to wrap up the IPL by May 30. The new schedule will be sent to teams tonight.”

IPL 2025: BCCI Plans to Resume from May 16, Final Likely on May 30 with Matches in Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad

The BCCI has told all teams, except Punjab Kings, to reach their new venues by Tuesday so that matches can start again by Friday. Teams have also been asked to inform their overseas players and help them return to India. Most foreign players and support staff had flown back home after the suspension last week.

With 12 matches still to be played, and at least six days needed for the playoffs and final, the BCCI wants to finish everything in two weeks.
To do that, more double-headers (two matches in a day) are being planned.



IPL chairman Arun Dhumal said they are trying to resume the league as soon as possible, especially after India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire on Saturday. “Now that the situation has improved, we are discussing with teams, broadcasters, and others to see how quickly we can restart.
We also need to talk to the government before finalising anything,” Dhumal said.

The board had stopped the IPL last Friday because of border tensions. Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad were picked as safer places to host the remaining matches, but the final decision will be made after talking to the government.

Last Thursday, the match between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings in Dharamsala was cancelled due to safety concerns after the floodlights went off. Dhumal said it was a safety measure and taken as a precaution.

<![CDATA[With India-Pakistan Ceasefire in Place, When Will IPL 2025 Resume?]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/with-india-pakistan-ceasefire-in-place-when-will-ipl-2025-resume/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/with-india-pakistan-ceasefire-in-place-when-will-ipl-2025-resume/ Sat, 10 May 2025 13:35:34 GMT

Cricket fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire, easing the recent tensions that had disrupted major sporting events. With the political climate stabilising, the path is now clear for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 to resume. There appears to be no intention of further extending the already prolonged pause, and preparations are underway to bring the tournament back on track, much to the excitement of fans around the world.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has allegedly started logistical preparations, in coordination with the government, for the IPL 2025. As far as the source from Sports Tak is concerned, the BCCI has informed franchises that the IPL can recommence as early as next week, providing a new timetable for operations.

Franchises have not been given a specific date yet. However, it is believed the franchises could be notified soon, and it is also alleged the BCCI are considering revised venue options with further security to address any risks involved for the players and spectators. The IPL has only 12 league matches and playoffs yet to play, so the IPL 2025 will be significant, and potentially very stressful for all involved.

Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals match were called off

The IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was abruptly called off due to a serious security threat. The game, held at a packed stadium, was progressing smoothly until officials received credible intelligence about a potential risk. With the safety of players, staff, and spectators being the top priority, the match was immediately suspended. 

Before the suspension, PBKS had gained enormous momentum with a decent batting display, and had a scoreline of 122/1 in 10.1 overs. With Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya stitching a hundred-run partnership. But people seem to be getting more anxious around the stadium after a very brief power outage, more police officers than usual, and rising security issues. With this, BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and the police's suggestions were sought at the time and halted the match.

Tension at the Dharmashala started to rise at its peak when security personnel asked spectators to leave the ground after a part of the floodlights went off. At first, the reports came out from the stadium suggesting that due to technical issues, lights went off.

Later it was widely covered that for security reasons people evacuated from the stadium and the Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals (PBKS vs. DC) match was called off.

Before the match there was lots of concern, as the situation of North India was not at its best because of the latest India-Pakistan conflict. PBKS officials were already asked to shift their upcoming home match against Mumbai Indians, which was scheduled to be played on May 11, to Ahmedabad from Dharamshala.

Several airports, including nearby airports of Dharamshala, are currently not operational for commercial purposes. In that scenario, it was a major duty for BCCI, PBKS, and DC team management to ensure the player's safety and find a suitable way to get out from there to a safer place. 

In the hour of needs, Indian Railways proved its supremacy

Airports are closed, so taking a flight was not an option for access. In the hour of need, Indian Railways stepped forward and sent a special Vande Bharat Express to a nearby railway station. From there, players and staff of Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals and all other crew members related to the PBKS vs. DC match were safely carried to New Delhi.

Indian Premier League, from their official 'X' account with a video of the special train, said, "Thank you, @RailMinIndia, for arranging a special Vande Bharat train on such short notice to ferry the players, support staff, commentators, production crew members, and operations staff to New Delhi."

IPL 2025 is postponed for a week. Three teams have been eliminated already, leaving 7 teams in the race, among which 5 teams are fighting strongly for an entry into the round of four. Teams like Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Mumbai Indians are the heavy contenders to play the next round, where only four teams will qualify. If IPL resumes after a week, then BCCI will have to reschedule the remaining matches according to the current fixtures. Which means the date of the final, which was May 25 as per the previous schedule, can be pushed into June. If this happens, then the teams in the playoffs will suffer most, as some of their overseas players can get a call to play the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final between South Africa and Australia on June 11 in England. For preparations, both of the teams can arrange their respective training camps one week before the final match. Between the IPL and the WTC final, players of the two nations will need some rest to refresh their minds and bodies. Keeping the important match in mind, IPL franchises may be forced to leave multiple Aussie and South African players from the squad. 

Gujarat Titans (GT)

Currently in 1st place on the ladder, almost qualified for the playoffs, and can be worried about the services from Kagiso Rabada and Gerald Coetzee. These two South African cricketers might leave the IPL to join their national camps. Though their absence may not harm GT too much, as they have taken only two wickets each so far in IPL 2025.

Remaining group stage matches: vs. Delhi Capitals (A), vs. Lucknow Super Giants (H), and vs. Chennai Super Kings (H).

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

Like GT, RCB is almost qualified for the playoffs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru can be affected heavily if Josh Hazelwood gets a call to play in the WTC final. The Aussie fast bowler was on song with RCB, claiming 18 wickets in 10 matches, at an economy of 8.44. Australia's Tim David and South Africa's Lungi Ngidi are the other two cricketers who can lower the RCB squad depth.

Remaining group stage matches: vs. Lucknow Super Giants (A), vs. Sunrisers Hyderabad (H), vs. Kolkata Knight Riders (H).

Punjab Kings (PBKS)

Punjab Kings' dominance under Shreyas Iyer's leadership can be jolted as they have multiple players from South Africa and Australia, like Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, and Xavier Bartlett. Jansen has a high chance to play in the WTC final. Theing all-rounder has claimed 11 wickets in 12 matches with PBKS in IPL 2025 so far and scored 75 runs with the bat too. 

Remaining group stage matches: vs. Mumbai Indians (H), vs. Rajasthan Royals (A). 

Mumbai Indians (MI)

Mumbai Indians can suffer if their opening batter and wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton gets a call from the South African cricket board for the WTC final. Rickelton has scored 336 runs in 12 matches this season, and his partnership with Rohit Sharma was proving crucial for the former champion team. Reece Topley and Lizaad Williams are two other cricketers whose services MI can miss. 

Remaining group stage matches: vs. Punjab Kings (A) and vs. Delhi Capitals (H).

Delhi Capitals (DC) 

The Axar Patel-led side has Tristan Stubbs, Mitchell Starc, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Faf du Plessis as Australian and South African cricketers. Uncertainty around Stubbs and Starc, as both of them can have the chance to represent South Africa and Australia, respectively. In 12 matches, Stubbs has scored 259 runs for PBKS, and Starc has bagged 14 wickets so far. 

Remaining group stage matches: vs. Gujarat Titans (H), vs. Mumbai Indians (A).

In the midst of tension between India and Pakistan, an IPL 2025 match, which was scheduled to be played in Dharamshala on May 11, is shifted to Ahmedabad. Punjab Kings now will have to face Mumbai Indians at Ahmedabad. Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) secretary Anil Patel confirmed the development to a news agency.

"Since the match had to be shifted at the last minute, the BCCI asked if we could host it, and we have formally informed them that we are ready," he said. 

In reply to the Pahalgam terrorist attack incident, where 25 Indian civilians had lost their lives, India air-struck the militant camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. As the situation is looking more critical than before, several airports in the northern regions are shut down for commercial services, including Dharamshala and other nearby airports. Following India's successful 'Operation Sindoor' on May 7 at midnight, several airports in North India, including Srinagar, Jammu, Chandigarh, Shimla, Amritsar, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Jamnagar, and Mundra, among others, were shut down for safety purposes.

It'll be a challenge to relocate the teams 

For the scheduled fixture on May 11, team Mumbai Indians was about to leave the state on Wednesday, but the closure of the airports forced them to halt in Mumbai. On the other hand, Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals are currently in crucial positions. PBKS and Capitals are scheduled to face each other today (May 8) evening. After the event, the teams have to get out of Dharamshala. In normal conditions, when commercial flights are operational, it is easy to relocate or transfer a team, but now, many airports are not open for commercial flights. So, PBKS and DC may have to find an alternative way to travel to the north part of the country. 

One of the team officials said that they have to think about the comforts of the players well between two fixtures. It'll be a challenge for team officials as well because players may have to travel a lot more than usual.

Delhi Capitals(DC) will play against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the fifty-eighth match of IPL 2025 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. Both failed to qualify for playoffs in the IPL 2024.

When they last played these two teams, In the second match of IPL 2024, Punjab Kings won against Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets. In the first innings, Delhi scored 174 runs but couldn't finish strong in the last overs. Sam Curran played a key role for Punjab, scoring 63 runs, and Liam Livingstone also batted well and finished the game with a quick 38 runs not out in that game. Delhi’s bowlers, especially Kuldeep Yadav, tried their best to control, but Punjab chased down the target with four balls remaining.

PBKS: Impact Players

Musheer Khan: He’s the younger brother of Sarfaraz Khan and hasn’t made his IPL debut yet. Since he plays spin well, PBKS might give him a chance at Chepauk, where the pitch helps spinners.

Vijaykumar Vyshak: The fast bowler from Karnataka has played against, Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants.
However, his bowling show against LSG was dismal, but his bowling prowess with slower balls can be very useful in the final overs for GT.

Suryansh Shedge: The 22-year-old all-rounder has played four games but hasn’t done much so far. He hasn’t even bowled yet, which is a bit surprising since he’s known to be a bowling option too.

Harpreet Brar: It was a bit surprising that Harpreet didn’t play in the first half of the season. But now he’s back and was used as an Impact Player in the last match. His all-around abilities can help the team.

DC: Impact Players

Ashutosh Sharma – He’s a young batter with a lot of talent. If Delhi loses early wickets while batting or needs to chase a big score, Ashutosh can come in as a substitute. He already proved himself by smashing 66 runs against LSG after coming in as an Impact Player.

Mohit Sharma – A very experienced fast bowler, Mohit has taken 134 wickets in the IPL. He’s a smart choice to bring in when Delhi is bowling second, especially if the pitch helps pace bowlers.

Karun Nair – A solid top-order batter who can be useful if Delhi needs extra batting. He can be sent in as a sub if early wickets fall or during a chase by replacing a bowler.

Dushmantha Chameera – The Sri Lankan fast bowler can move the ball well with the new ball. He’s a good option to bring in if the pitch helps pacers, but Delhi will have to make sure only three other overseas players are in the playing XI if they want to use him later.

IPL 2025, Match 58: PBKS vs DC - Playing XIs Status

PBKS' top-order batting is their biggest asset, along with their Indian bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal. Punjab Kings’ all-rounders need to play more effective roles, while Shashank Singh is their only present dependable name in their middle-order batting. PBKS are unlikely to make any important changes in the squad for this upcoming match.  

Delhi Capitals' batting line-up has a lack of big scores, which is their major issue this season. Also, their main bowlers, Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav, have recently struggled without a lack of strong support from other bowlers. DC may make some crucial batting name changes for the match.

Punjab Kings Predicted Playing XI: Prabhsimran Singh/Yuzvendra Chahal (Impact Players Sub), Priyansh Arya, Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Josh Inglis, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marcus Stoinis, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh, Harpreet Brar

PBKS vs DC: Weather and Pitch Report

The forecast in Dharamsala is pleasant from May 8, with temperatures from 20 to 26°C and humidity levels around 50-60%. And with 87% rain chances, a full match is assured. This pitch will favor batsmen with the average first innings score being 169 and good bounce and carry. Batsmen will be off to a great start as the pacers will receive early movement off the pitch, while spinners will develop their action in the middle overs. Dew in the second innings is likely, giving an advantage to the chasing team—expect the toss winner to bowl first.

PBKS vs DC: Match Preview

Punjab Kings (PBKS) are coming off a 37-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants at Dharamsala and are in a good space heading into crucial matches against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Guided by Shreyas Iyer, PBKS have benefitted from powerful starts from Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh’s (strike rate 193.79 since 2024) late innings heroics. Yuzvendra Chahal seems to be back in the groove, having taken a hat-trick against CSK, and is at the top of his game, and Arshdeep Singh is sending the ball down with serious pace. More concerning for PBKS has been the inability to be able to finish off games with death bowling as well.

DC, captained by Axar Patel, take the field with 13 points and just two wins in their last six matches. Although Tristan Stubbs (240.25 strike rate in the last 5 overs of innings since 2024) and Kuldeep Yadav (economy of 5.94) have performed well, DC will be under increased pressure with their form at the top and form against spin. With no chance of the top 4 qualifying for playoffs, as represented in the table below, this is an all-or-nothing contest at Dharamsala.
