Likely scenarios for the rest of IPL 2025 after suspension

• How Is The Tournament Placed?
• When Will IPL 2025 Resume?
• Where Will These Matches Be Held?

How Is The Tournament Placed?

In short, precariously placed. A total of 58 out of 70 matches have been played already in the regular season, which means most of the tournament is done.

Gujarat Titans are currently on top with 16 points from 11 matches whole RCB, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians round off second, third and fourth spot respectively.

When Will IPL 2025 Resume?

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated this week, which means that there won’t be any progress until these issues are at least partially resolved.

The IPL put out a statement suggesting that the tournament is on hold for at least one week, which means there is a chance that there may be a short window to host the remaining matches in May without delaying its natural conclusion.

At this point, that is a likely situation with a short window to host the remaining matches, possibly with double-headers on multiple days to make up for lost time.

Where Will These Matches Be Held?

It is implausible that the remaining matches will be held in the northern part of India, where the fallout of this escalation is worse compared to the rest of India.

That means that there could be a few chosen venues to complete the rest of the games, similar to how the 2021 IPL was completed after issues with COVID-19.

"Further updates regarding the new schedule and venues of the tournament will be announced in due course after a comprehensive assessment of the situation in consultation with relevant authorities and stakeholders," board secretary Devajit Saikia said.
