The 2020 season of the Indian Premier League will begin on March 29 as defending champions Mumbai Indians host Chennai Super Kings in a heavyweight clash at the Wankhede Stadium. While the schedule for the league phase is out, the dates and venues for the play-offs are yet to be released.
Kings XI Punjab, meanwhile, announced their full schedule of the league phase on their official Twitter handles.
The franchise will kickstart its campaign in the IPL 2020 against Delhi Capitals on March 30, which will also be the second match of the tournament. The side will take on the Capitals in Delhi.
KXIP's first home game will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 4.
The IPL has done away with the double-headers on Saturday - meaning only Sundays will see an afternoon fixture in the tournament. KXIP will play in two afternoon games - against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 3, and Sunrisers in the reverse fixture on May 12.
