The schedule for the tri-nation One-Day International (ODI) series in Karachi has been updated, with the final now slated for February 15 instead of February 14. Additionally, the last league-stage match between Pakistan and South Africa has been rescheduled to February 13, sources confirmed.
The adjustments have been made as part of Pakistan’s preparations for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, set to commence on February 19. Initially, Pakistan and South Africa were scheduled to clash on February 12, with the final match of the series following on February 14. The new schedule aims to provide teams with additional time for fine-tuning their game plans ahead of the prestigious tournament.
The tri-nation ODI series, featuring Pakistan, South Africa, and New Zealand, will begin on February 8. Originally planned to be held in Multan, the series venue was later shifted to Karachi, citing logistical considerations.
While the updated match dates have been confirmed, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly evaluating additional adjustments to the schedule. A PCB spokesperson indicated that changes to Karachi’s match timings or other logistical details are under review, though no final decisions have been announced.
The tri-nation series will serve as a key opportunity for participating teams to finalize their squads and strategies ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. With the revised schedule providing a clearer pathway to the final, fans are eagerly anticipating competitive matchups in Karachi’s iconic cricketing atmosphere.
