PSL Schedule 2023: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on January 20th that the 2023 Pakistan Super League (PSL) will begin on February 13th. The opening match will take place at the Multan Cricket Stadium, featuring the Lahore Qalandars and the Multan Sultans, who were the finalists in the previous year’s tournament. The Qalandars emerged victorious in the final and will look to become the first team to successfully defend the PSL title.
The 2023 edition of the Pakistan Super League, which features 34 games, will be held in Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Peshawar. The T20 tournament will be divided into two legs, with matches taking place in Multan and Peshawar from February 13th to 26th, before moving to Karachi and Lahore. The Qualifier, the Eliminators, and the Final, scheduled for March 19th, will be held at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
“The HBL PSL 8 will be a massive event for the PCB, taking place at the four iconic venues with the world’s best T20 cricketers in action. We aim to make the HBL PSL bigger, better and stronger than ever before with the overarching ambition to make it the first-choice event for leading T20 cricketers,” PCB Chairman Najam Sethi said.
“Each of the six sides will enter the HBL PSL 8 with lots at stake. Islamabad United will aim to become the most successful team with three titles, Lahore Qalandars will attempt to become the first side to win back to back titles and the remaining four teams will once again attempt to put a hand on the glittering silverware. This makes up for an exciting, enthralling and entertaining 34-match tournament,” he added.
