The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has just shuffled a few matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10!
In an announcement on Sunday, the PCB confirmed that two upcoming fixtures have been rescheduled. The reasons? A mix of operational challenges and the blazing heat that’s been sweeping parts of Pakistan lately.
Let’s get into the details.
First up, the highly anticipated afternoon match between Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings, originally set for May 1 at Multan Cricket Stadium, is on the move.
Instead, the game will now take place at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Interestingly, that same evening, Lahore Qalandars are scheduled to host Quetta Gladiators at Gaddafi Stadium as well.
That’s not the only tweak. The final match that was supposed to wrap up the Multan leg of the PSL 10 — Multan Sultans versus Quetta Gladiators — has also been rescheduled.

Instead of an earlier date, it will now be played on May 11 in the evening.
A smart move, honestly. Evening matches will definitely help players and fans avoid the punishing midday heat.
While the PCB’s official statement emphasised ‘operational ease’ and ‘heat waves’ as reasons for the changes, sources had a bit more to add.
Apparently, tournament broadcasters were facing logistical challenges, which played a key role in nudging the PCB toward rescheduling. It makes sense — TV production crews have tight timelines, and moving between cities in Pakistan’s heat can’t be easy.
In case you missed it, the defending champions Islamabad United are absolutely flying high in PSL 10! They’ve won all five of their matches so far and are sitting pretty at the top of the table with 10 points.
