Why are IPL semis and finals being played at Mumbai?

[gandabaccha]

If mumbai goes into IPL semifinals, they will have huge home-advantage backing them in the matches.
They will also have the advantage of having better exposure and knowledge to the pitch conditions, bounce and movement.

This is literally unfair.
Semis and Finals should be held at a neutral venue.

What is ur opinion?

maybe nobody expected mumbai to make it to the semis and thus kept the matches thier and looking at their current state they might not just make it, anyways jokes apart i guess bcci will be looking at revenues for its matches and the best bet for an unforeseen match maybe at mumbai and hence they would have decided for mumbai as venues.

People in Mumbai can afford high ticket prices and also know how to entertain people much better than anyone else

some politics is always there is these type of decisions...

may be bcoz Mumbai was the costliest team, they were given an extra benefit. But unfortunately, it was over much before semis for Mumbai

I think it was just for revenues.
