IPL Final 2023: BCCI negotiations in Dubai, final dates, teams’ form, and comparison to the season 2023
The Indian Cricket Board has come to a decision to organize the remaining matches of IPL 2023 in the UAE. This match is planned to be completed from September to October. For this, the BCCI is working on the schedule of the remaining 31 matches of the tournament. Under this, there is the most headache regarding the date of the final. IPL 2023 was suspended on 5 May after the Corona case. The move was taken after 29 matches of the tournament. Cases of corona virus were reported in four teams of the tournament. After this, it was said in the past that the BCCI is considering completing the tournament between September 18 and October 10. This resolution was adopted at a special general meeting of BCCI on 29 May.
After this BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah went to UAE to negotiate with the Emirates Cricket Board. Now there is news that BCCI can hold the IPL 2023 final on October 15 instead of October 10. This will be done due to the reduction in the number of matches in a day in the UAE heat. It is very hot in the UAE during September and the sun is also hot during the match at 3 pm. This causes a lot of trouble to the players. In such a situation, the BCCI is in talks with the officials.
IPL 2023 Season to Resume on September
IPL is a remarkable T20 annual event that features all the stars of the sport in a two-month feast involving some best commentators, multitudes of spectators, some top sponsors, and even some cheerleaders.

For the experienced IPL bettor, the really good news is that there are 13 years of IPL data and historical results that we can examine prior to considering what to wager on with Parimatch betting platform.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has set a date for the rescheduling of the IPL 2023 finals to be played in the UAE.

In a media interview with ANI news agency, a spokesman for the BCCI stated that the negotiations between the BCCI and the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) have been successful and the Indian board strongly believes that the remaining IPL games will be played smoothly in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.
The ANI news agency reports that an official spokesman said that negotiations went really well and the ECB gave a verbal agreement to host the event even ahead of the SGM BCCI. The decision was made last week. The first game following the season reopening will now be on Sept. 19. The finals will be on Oct. 15. BCCI has always counted on 25 days of set-up to arrange the remaining matches.
