Lahore is proposed to host the electrifying opening ceremony, while the grand finale is scheduled for Karachi, promising an intense culmination to PSL 9.
Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United, and Multan Sultans will play five hometown games each. However, Peshawar Zalmi will take the field for 4 matches in both Lahore and Rawalpindi. Not to be outdone, Quetta Gladiators will play 3 games each across Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi.
A well-considered rest schedule of 15 days is interwoven into the tournament for all participating teams. Karachi Kings will play all their nine games at night, while Islamabad United, Quetta Gladiators, Lahore Qalandars, and Multan Sultans are set for eight night games each. Peshawar Zalmi is slated for seven night matches.
