The sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2021) is all set to resume on June 9 after overcoming a lot of hurdles. The final will be played on June 24. The tournament will be played in Abu Dhabi, despite speculation in recent days that it was going to be moved to Sharjah.
There will be as many as six double-headers, with the early games starting at 5 pm Abu Dhabi time, and the evening matches at 8 pm local time. The seven-day isolation period for players and staff who arrived in the UAE via chartered flights from Pakistan ended on June 2 but a delay in the arrival of the production crew forced the PCB to rejig the schedule.
Karachi Kings led by Imad Wasim are currently at the top of the points table with six wins from five matches. Peshawar Zalmi are placed second with the same number of points followed by Islamabad United with five points.
