As the IPLT20 – The DLF IPL Season 2 – IPL 2009 comes closer , the cricket fans across the world are hoping for a great season with good cricket and great entertainment. This year the cricket games have been shifted to South Africa after England lost the season citing bad weather and rain threatening to play a spoil sport and could adversely affect more than half the matches. Initially Indian Government and home ministry had withheld security clearance for the Indian Premier League despite tournament organisers submitting a revised playing schedule. The Home ministry had given the reason that providing security to the players may not be feasible due to shortage of security forces as the forces would be busy safeguarding the countries elections.

The official website of the Indian Premier League - www.iplt20.com – is getting updated to give all the latest happenings about IPLT20. The technology is going to play a major role in this year as well. Every team has come up with its own website and has a big fan followers online. Most of the websites are getting ready for the season 2.

IPLT20 2009 starts from Saturday April 18 , 2009 at Cape Town, South Africa. The first match will be played between Mumbai Indians and chennai super kings.
