Earlier, following the increase in cases, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced that the semi-finals and final of the Pakistan Super League will be postponed due to COVID-19. PCB announced that the three games have been rescheduled but are yet to announce the date.

The decision came just hours before the commencement of the first semi-final between Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans.

Both the semi-finals of the tournament were slated to be played on March 17, while the final was to be played on March 18.

According to Express Tribune, provincial authorities on Tuesday confirmed 10 new cases of the novel coronavirus in Sindh and Punjab, pushing Pakistan's tally of confirmed COVID-19 cases to 194.
