PSL 5 Schedule 2020 | Venue and Date |
PSL 5 Schedule: As we all know, the Pakistan Super League is going to be held in the near future. Cricket fans are too much excited that every news for PSL is important for them. First, event date was very important. When the Pakistan Cricket Board officially announced the date for PSL, it caused happiness for the fans. After that, the news that all matches are in Pakistan sounds good.

PSL draft also attracted the fans as they were excited to see their favorite team with best players. Now, the most important thing for PSL is the schedule and the venues of the matches. Everyone wants to watch the matches in his own city. That’s why it is important to know that which cities are going to host the matches.
Total Matches in a City of PSL 5 Schedule
PCB announced that the opening ceremony will be hosted by Karachi National Stadium. Lahore will host the final match. There are 6 teams in PSL, and it is the basic right of every team to play some matches in their home ground. All 4 teams are playing matches in their home ground, except Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators.
The reason is their home grounds Arbab Niaz Stadium Peshawar and Bugti Stadium Quetta are not ready to host matches as they are under construction. Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, Multan Sultan and Islamabad united will play matches in their home city.
Karachi National Stadium will host 9 matches with the opening ceremony. Lahore Gaddafi Stadium will host 14 matches, including final match and final ceremony. Multan Cricket Stadium will host only 3 matches and Rawalpindi Cricket stadium will host 8 matches.
PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani about PSL 5
PCB Chairman Mr. Ehsan Mani says that “The HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 will feature 36 foreign stars. It was gratifying that 425 overseas players from 22 countries registered their interest in playing in the HBL PSL 2020.” 12 of them from Australia, 39 from Afghanistan, 23 from Bangladesh, 7 from Hong Kong, 109 from England, 10 from Canada, 7 from Netherland, 6 from Ireland, 11 from New Zealand, 8 from Nepal, 5 from Scotland, 9 from Oman, 27 from South Africa, 5 from Singapore, 9 from UAE, 39 from Sri Lanka, 82 from West Indies, 6 from USA, 9 from Zimbabwe and 1 player from each Bermuda, Kenya and Namibia.
At the end Mani said, “This shows the confidence that players throughout the world have in playing in Pakistan.”
Why Only 3 Matches in Multan?
Cricket fans from south Punjab are sad that their home ground is just hosting 3 matches while Lahore is getting 14. They are asking to reduce Lahore matches to 9, and Multan should host 8 matches.
Also, there is no match in Sialkot Stadium and Iqbal Stadium Faisalabad. Bahawalpur Stadium too is not hosting any match.
If we ask a cricket expert about this division of matches of the PSL 5 schedule, maybe we shall get a different answer as we expect. Multan is hosting only 3 matches as the area is a little backward. There is a risk to give too much matches to Multan. Also, there is no five-star hotel near Multan Cricket Stadium. Only Ramada Hotel is in Multan, which is trustable but it is about 20-25 km away from Stadium.
Bahawalpur is near to Multan that’s why it is not hosting any match. Also, PCB is trying to cover the home grounds of PSL official teams. Iqbal Stadium Faisalabad is also under construction and not able yet to host match.
The same things are happening with Jinnah Stadium Gujranwala and Sialkot Jinnah Stadium. They are not ready as over past 10 years, there is no international cricket in Pakistan and these stadiums are not renovated.
PSL5 Schedule with Time and Venue Detail
PSL 5 is going to start on 20 February 2020 to 22 March 2020. For the first time PSL schedule is like the IPL schedule, as double headers are not in the same city. If there are 2 matches in a day, they will be in different cities at different times. The reason is to make the fans more excited.
