Schedule of HBL PSL has been announced officially and we are presenting it for you on this page.
Karachi Kings will be starting with an HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 triumph by taking on 2019 Quetta Gladiators champions at the National Stadium on 20 February, in the opening mood of the 2021 edition.
HBL PSL Season 6
2021 Pakistan Super League will be the sixth season of the Pakistan Super League, a Twenty20 cricket league franchise set up in 2015 by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the purposes of sponsorship (also called PSL 6 or the HBL PSL 2021). This will be Pakistan’s second full season. The sixth season consists of six clubs, who have no expansion plans, reported the executive of PSL. It will take effect in February and March 2021. In the ICC Future Tours application PSL will be allowed to use a special window from 2021 onwards.
HBL PSL Season 6 Schedule
On the next day the 2020 finalist Lahore Qalandars will play Peshawar Zalmi, 2017 champions, in one day’s game, while Islamabad United, who has won twice, will take part in the night against Multan Sultans.
The 30-day 34 Game Tournament culminates on March 22nd with the final, marking the first time the venue has hosted the finals since 2017 at Kadhafi Stadium in Lahore.
The PCB has agreed to stage matches in Karachi and in Lahore only in order to protect the reputation of the HBL PSL 2021 and to provide health and protections for everybody after the Covid-19 pandemic. The first half of competition will be held in the National Stadium, while the cricket headquarters in Pakistan will hold the second half, including the playoffs, in the Gaddafi stadium.
If the situation of Covid-19 evolves, the decisions on crowd turnout can be taken more rapidly, whilst the event organisers control the situation continually and keep in close touch with officials of the concerned country.
The organisers made sure each side played the same amount of day and night games during the planning of the event schedule. In addition, the event organisers have sought to optimally exploit the weekends when organising double-headers to optimise the visibility and follow-up.
The HBL PSL 2021 duration will begin on 15 February and international players in the league with a negative PCR test will join Karachi. Once arrived, two more negative PCR tests would be required before trainings and competitions are permitted. The RT-PCR checks on day one and four shall be used by the asymptomatic players or support personnel who return a positive result.
We are pleased to announce the timetable for our brand case, the HBL Pakistan Super League that will take place in Pakistan in full for the second consecutive season.
“It is in the best interest of the event, participants and the nation that we have to make a difficult choice in order to restrict matches in Karachi and the Lahore area. We want to reduce players’ needless attention to the extent practicable in order that players can perform in a safe and safe atmosphere so that fans and supporters can continue to appreciate their abilities, creativity and gambling skills.
Multan and Rawalpindi crowds were wonderful last year and thank you for your contribution towards the success of HBL PSL 2020. If life returns to normal, I am confident that the two city will have a stake of matches as the PCB will continue to compete and to play HBL PSL matches in as many places as possible.
“The PCB is also responsible for giving attention to the fans in addition to the competitors. While we have a few solutions on the table, the PCB will also keep track of the situation and will postpone its judgement on crowd involvement and the PCB as long as possible.
The scheduling release offers six franchisees and event promoters a chance to start organising for the tournament. As the six sides finalise their rosters at the next players’ draught, PCB has already worked hard on organising events and is now time to shift gears so our prestige and integrity as a high-performance board is improved.
