Each team will face the other team twice in the league stages, and the top 4 teams at the end of group stages will proceed to the playoffs. The new season will resume with six teams as no new team has been added to the league.

Quetta will miss the services of Shahid Afridi in the first few games after he contracted the Covid virus. This comes as a big blow to the side even before their season gets underway. This shifts the balance of the match to Peshawar’s favour who are also not short on experience. Peshawar will be led by Wahab Riaz while former Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed will lead Quetta Gladiators.

Karachi and Lahore will host all the matches of PSL 2022. Both the pitches are batting paradise for batsmen. The true bounce of the pitches allows the batsmen to play through the line. The track may turn under lights in the second half of the game. The history of the venue says that teams batting first have won more matches than the teams chasing. Thus the captain who wins the toss might look to bat first and put up a good score on the board. The weather will be conducive for cricket with no forecast of rain.
