IPL 2025 Final Pushed Back To May 30: Reports – Cricket.com

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is planning to have the final of the currently-suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on May 30, reported the Indian Express. The final was earlier scheduled to happen on May 25, but the tournament had to be suspended due to tensions at the India-Pakistan border.
“As the IPL was suspended for a week, there is a possibility of the IPL final now being played on May 30 instead of May 25 with limited venues. The schedule will be sent to all IPL teams by tonight,” a source in the BCCI told the Indian Express.
The BCCI has already informed the franchises to assemble their players by May 13 (Tuesday) ahead of the restart of the 2025 season. All IPL teams except the Punjab Kings (PBKS) have been told to assemble at their venues. PBKS, on the other hand, will come together at a neutral venue.
It is understood that many players, including the overseas ones, returned home after the IPL was suspended on May 9 (Friday) amid the escalating tensions at the India-Pakistan borders. However, the franchises have been told to make arrangements for such players to be brought back.

17 more matches are to be played, including the PBKS vs Delhi Capitals (DC) clash, which was suspended after just 10.1 overs. The BCCI is also planning to add more double-headers to end the tournament on time. According to multiple reports, IPL 2025 is expected to resume on May 15 or 16.
With the ceasefire declared on May 10 (Saturday), the BCCI has planned to resume the tournament quickly, but with Pakistan violating the agreement, it is yet to be seen if the tournament resumes as planned by the BCCI.
To completely avoid the conflict, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai are reportedly the venues where the rest of the tournament could be played.
