The sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will bring high voltage action from National Stadium Karachi and Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore over the next month. After valiant efforts from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), fans will be allowed to watch the live action from the stadium.
However, only 20 percent of the entire capacity of the stadiums will be allowed to fill due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans will be required to follow the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and the Code of Conduct set by the PCB.
