The inaugural season of Pakistan Super League was a tremendous success as it garnered immense popularity among cricket fans around the world. The cricket pundits gave it rave reviews and dubbed it as a catalyst that can change the state of the game in Pakistan. Things went well in the first edition of the league as Islamabad United went on to win the title but come this season it will be a different ball game altogether as teams have bought better resources in terms of players that would mean a much stiffer competition.
The fans are excited and will be keen to see their favorite stars as the league begins on 9th February in Dubai. The final of the tournament is scheduled to be staged in the colorful city of Lahore in Pakistan but that is totally subjected to clearance in terms of security. One can expect much bigger crowds than last time around as the ticket sales are all set to be humongous this time around.
The first game will see defending champions Islamabad United face off against Peshawar Zalmi on 9th February. Each of the five teams will play eight matches in round-robin stage before qualifying for the playoffs of the Pakistan Super League. Here is the full schedule for Pakistan Super League 2017.
