Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 is just around the corner with the entire tournament scheduled in Pakistan this time around.
Unlike UAE, the boundaries in Pakistani stadiums will be kept relatively shorter. Not just this, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has directed the curators of all four stadiums to prepare batting-friendly wickets for better entertainment.
As per reports, PCB has decided to reduce the length of the boundaries to as short as 55 meters which explains why all six franchises have picked batting-heavy squads.

Foreign commentators repeatedly pointed out how the shorter boundaries at the National Stadium impacted the outcomes of the games last year.
