Of the 14 matches, RCB will play seven games in Dubai, where they are stationed for the tournament, and remaining on two other venues – Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
The IPL schedule has been released after much deliberation and delays, which had given rise to a lot of speculations in the last few days.
With rising COVID-19 cases in India, the organizers were forced to move the tournament to the UAE. All the eight teams, following the guidelines issued by the board and the UAE authorities arrived in the country last month and underwent a mandatory quarantine before hitting the nets for the season.
