Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021: Live Telecast & Streaming Details, Timings, Full Schedule, Squads

The sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is all set to hit the floors once again. Unfortunately, PSL 2021 came to a halt in early March due to a few COVID-19 cases being reported among the participating teams. After rigorous efforts for a few months, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has finally managed to find a window to host the remaining PSL 2021 matches starting June 9.

The second leg of the tournament is scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi. In a 34-match tournament comprising six teams, a total of 20 matches will be played after the successful completion of 14 encounters during the first leg of PSL 2021. Currently, Karachi Kings look confident sitting at the numero uno spot in the PSL points table.

On the other hand, with a solitary win in the five matches so far, Quetta Gladiators continue to languish at the bottom of the points table. While teams will look to gain early momentum, it will be interesting to see their team compositions. After the unavailability of a few players, all PSL franchises roped a few fresh faces in their squads ahead of the forthcoming leg.
