IPL 2020 in October will witness 10 double headers being played in the month.

IPL 2020 has successfully conducted matches in two weeks of the tournament and in October, the T20 competition will see double headers being played.

IPL 2020 has had very successful two weeks so far, with many matches proving to be thrillers. In the first two weeks, the tournament has seen two Super Over thrillers while the highest run-chase in IPL history was achieved when Rajasthan Royals defeated Kings XI Punjab. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are the century makers in the tournament while MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings are surprisingly at the bottom, having won just one out of three games.

Now, with the arrival of October, the tournament has kicked into high gear with the arrival of double headers. The first of the 10 double headers will be played in this weekend. The day games will begin at 3:30 PM, half an hour earlier than previous day games which were held in India. The heat and humidity will be a big factor and the fitness of the players will be tested immensely in this period.

The venues for the double headers will be in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Here is the total list of double headers that will be played in October in the UAE in IPL 2020
