Bangalore, Dec 21: Eden Gardens to host the inaugural match of the sixth edition of Indian Premier League between IPL 5 champions Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils on April 3, 2013.
According to iplt20.com, the official site Sunrisers Hyderabad would draw a lot of attention in the sixth edition of the cash-rich league after joining the IPL family this October.
Sunrisers will face Pune Warriors India on Apr 5, 2013 in their IPL debut.
The format for Pepsi IPL will be the same as the fifth edition, while all the nine teams will play the other eight teams twice (home and away). Top four teams at the end of the round-robin stage would qualify for the Playoffs.
Ranchi and Dharamsala, hosting international ODI matches earlier in 2013, will be hosting two matches each in the sixth edition of IPL.
"The countdown to PEPSI IPL 2013 has begun. We are poised to witness a competition that will be as, if not more, spectacular, than its predecessors. The greatest cricketers on this planet will join forces with the stars of the future, to deliver some exhilarating cricket for their respective teams. The teams will play hard, but fair, and the most consistent of the lot will be crowned the PEPSI IPL 2013 Champion on 26 May 2013," Rajeev Shukla, Chairman, IPL, said.
