The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed that HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) X will continue as planned, with Islamabad United scheduled to face Quetta Gladiators later today at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The cricket board made this announcement amidst escalating tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi following an attack by Indian forces inside Pakistan and the subsequent retaliation.
Pakistan’s armed forces shot down five Indian Air Force (IAF) jets, a combat drone, and destroyed a brigade headquarters after India carried out missile strikes in cities of Punjab and Azad Kashmir.
The toss for the United versus Gladiators match will take place at 7:30 pm, with the first ball to be bowled at 8 pm.
Additionally, there are no changes to the remaining fixtures of PSL X, with Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium set to host the final of the marquee event on May 18.
Tonight’s match marks the return of PSL to Rawalpindi for four matches on May 7, 8, 9, and 10. Following this, the final group stage match is scheduled to be held in Multan on May 11.
The qualifier is set to take place in Rawalpindi on May 13, while both eliminators (1 and 2) and the final of the marquee event are scheduled for May 14, 16, and 18, respectively, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
