IPL 2017: BCCI announces play-offs' venues

New Delhi, April 3: Hyderabad will host the final of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Sunday (April 2).

Bengaluru will host two knockout matches -- the Eliminator (May 17) and the Qualifier 2 May 19.

"A reserve day is available for the Final but not the other three playoff matches," the BCCI statement added.

Qualifier 1 is played between the top two teams of the league stage. The winners enter the summit clash while the losing team takes on the winners of the Eliminator -- played between the third and fourth placed teams -- for the other final slot in the Qualifier 2.
