To avoid delays in a packed schedule, all matches (except finals) are played in pairs. So, the first innings (Batting) of Match A is followed by the first innings (Batting) of Match B. Then the 2nd innings of Match A is played, followed by the 2nd for Match B. Next, matches C and D start their play, and so on.
