The eighth season of the Pakistan Super League is scheduled to start. Here is everything you need to know about the PSL 2023, including the schedule of matches, participating teams, match times, and venues.
The PSL 8, which features six teams and many well-known players from around the world, is expected to be a smash hit. The current winners are Lahore Qalandars, who won their first championship in 2022. Multan Sultans came in second.
With two trophies since the PSL’s start in 2016, Islamabad United is the most successful team in the competition’s history.
PSL 2023: Format
All six teams will compete in a double round-robin format during the league stage, with the first rounds of games to be held in Multan and Karachi before the second rounds are held in Lahore and Rawalpindi.
After the league stage, the top four teams will advance to the playoff rounds. The top two groups will square off in a qualifier, while the third and fourth groups will first square off in an elimination round.
While the winner of the Qualifier advances directly to the final, the loser of the Qualifier will face the winner of the first Eliminator in the second Eliminator match. The final, which is scheduled to take place on March 19 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, will be played if the winner of the second Eliminator advances.
