They just had 3 matches remaining. The tournament was going really well. After a long gap, quality cricket was being played in front of Pakistani fans and they were really enjoying it. The matches were of the topmost quality and we saw the emergence of many future stars in the due course. And just when we thought that we had a great tournament, mishap comes in the form of COVID 19. All that comes to my mind now is the phrase "Man proposes, but God disposes".

In case the matches did happen, the Lahore would have made 65 -6 and would have shown disappointed performance in the semi finals.

Check the exact scores and who would have won the PSL 2020 How the PSL 2020 final would have played out, had coronavirus not happened

Erin Holland, The commentator of PSL, is forced to spend her birthday in isolation and it is due to here presence in PSL. Sad

She is not alone many others also facing same thing in their own countries as its must for safety or others.

Everyone is in a lock down situation and is in an isolation of some sort. People are avoiding to be social and so are the players. This is not something they choose themselves, they are rather forced to remain in isolation if they want to survive these times when this virus is everywhere in the air and on the surfaces.

It is surprising that users here are still hopeful of the PSL resuming anytime soon. The number of cases in Pakistan is exploding right now, and no one in their right mind would permit such a big tournament there. You can check the situation here:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Today, Pakistan had almost the same number of new cases as that of South Korea. Moving the tournament to UAE or Oman is also out of question, as there is a big spike in infections in GCC nations as well.

BTW, the death toll in Italy has surpassed that of China.

Dont know about the exact figures but in Pakistan 510 cases reported so far with 4 Recovered and 3 deaths. Sad

You can find exact info on numbers for Pakistan here https://www.covid-19.pk/ and anyone think PSL matches can resume anytime soon, then this is not going to happen. PSL matches will only resume when all other sports will be resumed world wide once this deadly virus is killed by the mankind.

That's a very positive sign

Its positive sign in sense of PCB taking this thing seriously. just imagine the outburst or consequences if they don't take necessary steps and some players turns out to be a positive later. Worst if its any foreign player or Babar Azam?

But sad thing now we have more then 250 victims of Corona virus and 2 deaths already happen and in coming days these numbers can rise as now its spreading very quickly which is not signnal specially in Karachi.

That's a very positive sign, and I guess that should have an effect on when the competition will be resumed right ? but still these are the playoffs, and I agree that it will be very hard to keep people off the field.

Of course it's a good thing for Pakistan cricket.

I have seen many footballer got this and they are having self isolation for safety. There are celebrities who are isolating themselves for safety. There are cricketers who are also keeping them isolated. All of us really needs to be careful and do our job. We need to make sure that no one get this because of us and we don't get it from others too. So self isolation is the best thing to do. Lately I am realising that PSL and others spots really needs few weeks beark until everything goes back to very normal. It's very necessary for humankind.

One positive news coming out from the PCB. Recently they conducted COVID-19 test on everyone who stayed back in Pakistan(including local players) for PSL, it includes players, staff, match official etc. total 128 individuals and every one came out clean (Negative result).

Eventhough it's a good thing that the Semis and the finals are postponed because of COVID-19 outbreak, it really sucks from a cricketing fan perspective that we have to wait nearly a month to watch the semis and the final.

Just for record "One Month" is not coming from any official source or any sort of source. It was me, just speculating the timeline, so plz don't take my words for granted. If that's the case. Grin

Yeah, I completely understand Grin

Since IPL has been postponed until April 15 earlier, I was also of the opinion that 1 month period sounds reaonable for PSL too, if the COVID-19 spread is successfully curtailed. Anyways IPL is going to start somewhere between April 16 to May 1, so it's going to be a boring month without any matches.

Currently nothing is sure as its going to start on April 16 to May 1 because right now its still not clear whats going to happen in next few weeks we only can prayer for good as right now all around lock down and another danger of increasing population very quickly is coming in next few months.

But playing after 1 month will also be not fair because all the current momentum of the teams and players will be lost. At that moment anyone can win the match and the present form of the teams and players will not matter.

Its part of the package and its for all 4 teams.

About giving trophy to top team; There might be some logic on your argument but unfortunately that's not how works in competitive tournaments. They can't hand over the trophy to top ranking team when more than 3 teams are in the final stage.

^^ They did good by postponing the Semis and Final and now it makes sense if PCB wait for at-least 20-30 days, if everything gets normal in next 1 month or so, then they can organize games with the spectators.

I think this tournament will not resume because all the International players will leave and can't wait for month or so, to get the chance to play the semi finals. I think Multan Sultans will be declared the winners as they top the table.

Who saying they should stay.. They can always return after 1 month if situation gets under control + If they don't have any national duties aka any billateral series, no brainier here. Deciding winners like that is PR disaster IMO, Its competitive cricket and 4 teams are fighting for trophy.

Also the number of corona cases are increasing in Pakistan every day, so i don't think anything is going to change in one month.

We will wait for the tournament to resume and I am pretty sure that they will resume once all these pains gone. But by any chance if something like this do not happen then the current point table will be the final table.

I think this is logical ?

Ofcourse, it is.

Sad to see this postpone news however it's a good decision considering the number of effected people in Pakistan. Early prevention is always better. Close door always does not mean that there will not be gathering of people. In the presentation ceremony they were expecting gathering of people.

What will happen to the leaderboard positions with respect to the postponed of the tournament. Will you select the winners based upon the current standings or will you wait for the tournament to resume ?
