The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the official schedule for the 11th season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which will begin on 26 March in Lahore.
According to the schedule, the 44-match event will take place from 26 March to 3 May across six cities, including Lahore, Karachi, Multan, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and Peshawar.
For the first time, eight teams will compete in the marquee event, marking a major expansion of the tournament after the league successfully completed 10 years.
Under the tournament format, each franchise will play 10 matches during the group stage before the top four sides qualify for the knockout rounds.
The playoff stage will feature Qualifier One, Eliminator, Qualifier Two and the final, which is scheduled to be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 3 May.
Tournament organisers have also scheduled 12 double-header match days during the competition, with Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium set to host three of those multi-match fixtures.
The opening match of the tournament will be played at Gaddafi Stadium on 26 March when defending champions Lahore Qalandars face new franchise Hyderabad Kingsmen.
The Imran Khan Cricket Stadium in Peshawar will host its first Pakistan Super League match when Peshawar Zalmi take on Rawalpindi Pindiz in an afternoon fixture.
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will host 11 matches during the tournament, including one playoff fixture, with Islamabad United and Rawalpindi Pindiz playing their home matches at the venue.
Hyderabad Kingsmen and Rawalpindi Pindiz are the two new franchises added to the tournament following the latest Pakistan Super League auction organised by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
