The Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10 schedule has made minor adjustments, with two matches in Multan rescheduled following a request from the tournament's broadcasters. According to a statement, the fixture between Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings, initially set for May 1 at the Multan Cricket Stadium, has been rescheduled for May 6. Similarly, the clash between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators, originally scheduled for May 10, has been moved to May 11. Both matches will now be staged as night games under floodlights. PSL X: Quetta Gladiators win last-ball thriller against Karachi Kings As per reports, the changes were made to accommodate logistical challenges faced by the broadcasters. PSL management agreed to the modifications after consultations with stakeholders. One potential factor behind the rescheduling is the recent expulsion of 23 members from the PSL broadcasting team amid rising diplomatic tensions between Pakistan and India, reports added. While there were initial discussions about shifting the Multan matches to Lahore, the venue has remained unchanged, with only the dates and timings revised.

PSL: Babar Azam, Hussain Talat steer Zalmi to comfortable win over Lahore Qalandars
Dubai: Skipper Babar Azam and Hussain Talat struck unbeaten half-centuries to guide Peshawar Zalmi to a seven-wicket win over Lahore Qalandars in their Pakistan Super League clash at the Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday. Surviving early scare Chasing 130, Zalmi were rocked early, losing three wickets inside five overs to an inspired opening burst from Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. At 40 for 3, the visitors looked vulnerable — but Babar and Talat calmly turned the tide with an unbroken 93-run stand for the fourth wicket, sealing victory with 20 balls to spare. Earlier, Alzarri Joseph and Luke Wood tore through the Qalandars' top order after they were asked to bat, reducing them to 21 for 4. Only Sikandar Raza showed resistance, scoring a gritty 52 off 37 balls. His knock, along with some lower-order resilience, helped the hosts post 129 — a total that looked below par but briefly threatened to test Zalmi. Babar survived a close LBW call in the final over of the Powerplay — overturned by DRS — before regaining control with a trademark drive through third. That moment marked a shift in momentum as the Qalandars' intensity waned. Talat, not known for brute power, found his rhythm under no scoreboard pressure. Babar milked the gaps, handled Rishad Hossain's spin with ease, and eased to a 37-ball fifty. Talat finished the job with back-to-back boundaries off Haris Rauf, bringing up both the win and his own half-century.
