The DLF Indian Premier League season two champions Deccan Chargers will take on Kolkata Knight Riders at Hyderabad in the opening match of the season 3 to be played from March 12 to April 25, 2010.
The final of the 45-day Twenty20 cricket league would be held on April 25, IPL Chairman Lalit Modi announced after a meeting of its Governing Council on Tuesday.
IPL III will have four additional match staging centres -- Nagpur, Vishakhapatnam, Ahmedabad and Dharamsala -- and will also stage one extra match, the 60th, for the third place play-off, Modi said.
"The playing window remains the same, 45 days", he said.
The IPL Chairman announced that in 2011 two more franchise teams would be added to make for 10 teams and playing 94 matches in 12 centres.
"There would be 94 games in all with each franchisee playing 18, instead of 14 preliminary phase games. But the window would remain more or less the same," Modi said.
