A total of 8 more matches are to be played in PSL 2025, including the playoffs and league stage.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to hold the remaining matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 outside the country. The PCB has decided to shift the PSL from Pakistan to Dubai. 8 matches of the 10th season of PSL are still left, which includes four playoff matches and four league matches.
The PCB has decided to shift the tournament to the UAE amid the military confrontation between India and Pakistan.
