The IPL 2022 Match No. 32 between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings on April 20 has been officially relocated after members from the capital franchise were tested positive for Covid-19. The match will go on as per schedule at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
According to a media release from the governing body of the lucrative tournament, the decision to move the match out of Pune was taken “to avoid any further incident due to any undetected case during a long-distance bus journey in a closed environment.”
