Interestingly Chennai who were supposed to host the finals, is now only hosting the first play-off  1st qualifier on 7th May. They could not provide solution to their 3 closing stands at Chidambaram Stadium before the stipulated date of 12th May. The other two play-off games will be played at Vishakapatnam on 8th and 10th May.

Surprisingly ACA-VDCA stadium at Visakhapatnam  had only one domestic match played this Indian season!. It was a Ranji match played on Dec 22-2018 between Andhra Pradesh v Bengal. The match was drawn, with last two innings was going at 5.75 R/o.  Other than this game, there was no limited over tournaments played(Deodhar Trophy or Syed Mushtaq Ali) here. One hope the surface will keep balance between bat and ball.
