PSL 2021: Complete schedule for Abu Dhabi leg with match timings
The 2021 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2021) is set to resume in the United Arab Emirates on June 9.
PSL 2021 began in February, but because of the COVID-19 outbreak in the bio-bubbles, the organizers had to postpone the tournament on March 4.
The players have reached the Gulf nation and begun their quarantine. They will practice for a few days before taking the field on June 9.
What are the new match timings for PSL 2021?
The Pakistan Cricket Board has made a change in the timings. Generally, the afternoon games in PSL begin at 2:00 PM PKT and the night games have a start time of 7:00 PM PKT.
However, the timings have now been changed to 6:00 PM PKT and 11:00 PM PKT for double-headers, whereas the single-headers will start at 9:00 PM PKT. The time difference between Pakistan and UAE is of 1 hour only. Still, the organizers have kept the matches later in the day, seemingly because of the heat factor.
Interestingly, there will be no rest days during the playoffs. Qualifier 1 and Eliminator 1 will take place on June 21. Eliminator 2 will be held on June 22 with the summit clash scheduled for June 24.
