Qualifier 1 will take place on May 26 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. Following that, the Eliminator is scheduled for May 27 at the New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh.

Qualifier 2 is set for May 29, also at the New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. The final match will be held on May 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

This shift in venue arises from local association requirements exceeding the BCCI’s established guidelines. The BCCI stated, “Bengaluru was originally designated to host the Final. However, owing to certain requirements from the local association and authorities that were beyond the scope of BCCI’s established guidelines and protocols, the venue has been shifted and reassigned.”

Ahmedabad has now hosted the IPL final four times in five years. This includes finals in 2022, 2023, and 2025.

The BCCI emphasized that the playoffs will be conducted across these three venues due to special operational and logistical considerations.

Before this match, Peshawar Zalmi dominated the tournament, losing only one league game. They finished strong and advanced directly to the final.

In contrast, Hyderabad Kingsmen earned their spot by successfully defending six runs in the final over against Islamabad United during Qualifier 2.

Babar Azam stands out as the tournament’s top run-getter with a total of 588 runs. His performance has been critical to Zalmi’s success.

The stakes are high. The winner will receive USD 500,000, while the runners-up will take home USD 300,000. An additional USD 200,000 will go to the franchise with the best player development.

The toss for the match is scheduled for 7:30 PM local time. The closing ceremony will begin at 6:30 PM, followed by the match starting at 8:00 PM.

Peshawar Zalmi’s strong lineup and experience could give them an edge. However, Hyderabad Kingsmen’s recent performance shows they are a formidable opponent.

This final promises to be an exciting showdown between two competitive teams in the Pakistan Super League.
