The Bombay High Court yesterday allowed Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to organise yet another Indian Premier League (IPL) match in the state. The BCCI yesterday moved High Court seeking permission to hold the game between Rising Pune Super Giants and Mumbai Indians in Pune on May 1.

Requesting permission from the High Court bench of Justices VM Kanade and MS Karnik to allow the match to be played at the pre-decided venue, BCCI counsel Rafique Dada said, “We can’t shift this one match and we have very little time to do so. Another match has been scheduled at the Pune stadium between Pune Super Giants and Gujarat Lions on April 29. Travelling for the players will get too hectic. They can travel only on April 30, as game on April 29 will be held in the night. And the next match is on May 1. Schedule was chalked out keeping in mind that the Pune team would be playing at home and won’t need to travel.”
