South Africa will host IPL matches


South Africa will be hosting the IPL -Second Edition. The matches will be held between April 18 and May 24, a delay of about one week from the original schedule of April 10, 2009. The matches will commence at 4 pm IST and 8 pm IST to make it easy for Indian television viewers back home. England lost out as the IPL venue to South Africa because of the wet weather between April and May. Also the steady assurance from South Africa government and CSA officials that the tournament pitted the deal in its favor. Also the cost of running the tournament turns out to be cheaper in South Africa compared to England.
