The last two league encounters of the Indian Premier League on October 8 will be played simultaneously. The intention behind the step could be to bar any team from taking an unfair advantage, should the Playoff qualification situation bottle down to Net Run Rate. The other key decisions taken during the meet include the appointment of two new IPL franchises that will participate from the next edition onwards.
