Dedicated floors/zones will be allotted to each franchise team, match officials and match management teams to avoid mixing of the various groups within the hotel premises.The 14th season, which was postponed in May this year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, will resume on September 19 in Dubai with a blockbuster clash between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.The action will then shift to Abu Dhabi where Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Royal Challengers Bangalore.Sharjah will host its first game on September 24 when Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Chennai Super Kings.
