Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country. The decision was taken earlier today following a meeting between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials and PSL franchise owners.
PCB has said that it will reschedule the remaining matches once the country controls the pandemic that has resulted in over 200 reported cases in the country.
Now that the PSL has been postponed, let’s have a look at the stats from the league at the end of 30 matches:
