PSL 2024: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details
The ninth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will take place between February 17 to March 18, 2024.
The National Stadium in Karachi, the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi, and the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan are the host venues.
Islamabad United, Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, Multan Sultans, Peshawar Zalmi, and Quetta Gladiators are the six participating teams this season.
Islamabad United will be captained by Shadab Khan, Multan Sultans will have Mohammad Rizwan as their captain, and Lahore Qalandars will be led by Shaheen Afridi. Peshawar Zalmi will see Babar Azam as their captain, Shan Masood will lead Karachi Kings, and Rilee Rossouw will be at the helm for Quetta Gladiators.
Islamabad and Lahore are currently the joint-most successful teams in the PSL with two titles each, while the rest of the four teams have one title in their account.
Qalandars are the defending champions. The Shaheen-Afridi-led side secured their second consecutive title by narrowly defeating Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans by one run in the final.
Rizwan was the top scorer last season with 550 runs, while his teammate Abbas Afridi led the wicket-taking charts with 23 wickets.
This season, there are 30 league-stage matches scheduled among the six participating teams. The knockout stage and final are set to take place at the National Stadium in Karachi.
On March 14, the top two teams will face each other in the Qualifier, followed by two Eliminators. The Qualifier winner will secure a direct spot in the finals.
Meanwhile, the third and fourth-placed teams will compete in Eliminator 1. The team losing in the Qualifier and the Eliminator-1 winner will then clash in Eliminator 2 on March 16.
The Eliminator 2 winner will earn the opportunity to vie for the championship in the final against the Qualifier winner on March 18.
Without any further ado, let's delve into the schedule and timings of the upcoming 2024 PSL.
