Ahmedabad and Wankhede are favorites to host IPL 2025 Playoffs
Given those issues, Mumbai and Ahmedabad are now emerging as the frontrunners to host the playoffs, thanks to their strong infrastructure, more reliable conditions, and easy logistics. Even a report in Cricbuzz claimed that Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium has been selected to host Qualifier 2 and the Final on June 1 and June 3, respectively.
Mumbai is still in the running to host the first two IPL 2025 playoff games, but everything depends on when the monsoon arrives. Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is expected to host at least one playoff match. The BCCI has reportedly informed Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officials “to be ready for at least one, possibly for the first two playoff games.”
