The Indian Premier League semi-finals have been moved from Bangalore to Mumbai amid security fears.
Two devices exploded outside Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium before Saturday's (April 17) IPL game between Bangalore Royal Challengers and Mumbai Indians.
"The environment in Bangalore stops us from continuing with our original plans," said IPL boss Lalit Modi.
"The incidents were assessed by local police and the IPL's security agency as being of a minor nature but they have forced our hand.
"This decision is naturally disappointing for the people of Bangalore but has been taken with the tournament's best interests, and the interests of its many varied stakeholders, in mind.
"The IPL wishes those affected by Saturday’s incidents a speedy recovery from injuries suffered as a result of the cowardly actions.
"Despite this setback, we're confident the semi-finals and finals of IPL will be successfully contested and provide a fitting finale to a remarkable tournament."
