Why were IPL Qualifier 2 and Final shifted from Kolkata to Ahmedabad?

Overcast weather, rain and delays welcomed the two teams and the spectators at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, June 1. It has been a wet couple of days in Ahmedabad but the forecast wasn’t as bad or threatening to force a washout. The toss for the second qualifier between the Punjab Kings and the Mumbai Indians took place on time but a first drizzle arrived around 10-15 minutes later, which stopped for a couple of minutes, only to bring a heavy shower, which delayed the start of the game.
