LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced the revised schedule for the remaining matches of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10, with the tournament set to resume on May 17.

The highly-anticipated restart will see Karachi Kings take on Peshawar Zalmi at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The venue will also host a double-header on May 18, featuring Quetta Gladiators vs. Multan Sultans in the afternoon, followed by Peshawar Zalmi vs. Lahore Qalandars in the evening. The last match in Rawalpindi will be played on May 19, with Islamabad United facing Karachi Kings.

Following the group-stage matches, the action will shift to Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, which will host the Qualifier on May 21, Eliminator 1 on May 22, and Qualifier 2 on May 23. The PSL 10 final is scheduled for May 25 at the same venue.

Evening matches will begin at 7:30 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), while the only afternoon fixture will start at 3:30 PM PST. The PCB has stated that details regarding ticket sales will be shared soon. The tournament was temporarily suspended due to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, as well as an incident near Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium last week. Initially, the remaining matches were relocated to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to security concerns. However, following the directive of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the PCB decided to pause the tournament entirely before finalising its resumption in Pakistan.

Standings: As of the suspension, 27 matches had been completed, with Quetta Gladiators leading the points table. They secured a playoff spot with six wins, two losses, and one no-result from nine matches; Karachi Kings hold second place with 10 points (five wins from eight matches); Defending champions Islamabad United are third with 10 points (five wins, four losses from nine matches); Lahore Qalandars sit fourth with nine points (four wins, four losses, one no-result); Peshawar Zalmi are fifth with eight points (four wins from nine matches); Multan Sultans have been eliminated from playoff contention, managing just one win and eight losses in their nine matches.

PSL 10 remainder schedule: May 17: Karachi Kings v Peshawar Zalmi; May 18: Peshawar Zalmi v Lahore Qalandars (afternoon); May 18: Islamabad United v Karachi Kings; May 19: Multan Sultans v Quetta Gladiators; May 21: Qualifier; May 22: Eliminator 1; May 23: Eliminator 2; May 25: Final.
