PSL 2024: Match 17 is postponed due to rain

Lahore Qalandars vs. Peshawar Zalmi Forecast update: Rain in Pakistan's fourth-most populated city has resulted in a wet outfield, delaying the PSL 2024's 17th match at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Saturday, March 2.

Due to inclement weather, the afternoon match planned for 2 PM PKT was postponed from its original time of 1:30 PM local time. Even though the rain stopped before the toss was supposed to begin, the umpires didn't like how wet the outfield was.

The next ground inspection was scheduled by the umpires for 2:30 PM PKT, with dense cloud cover still hanging over the venue, while the super sopper was out on the field to dry off the damp outfield immediately afterwards.

The weather report indicates that there will be 90% chance of rain in the afternoon and up to 95% cloud cover. The temperature will be about 17 degrees, and the wind speed will reach up to 26 kmph. The opening game of the day's double header is between the table-topping Multan Sultans and the Karachi Kings later in the evening.

Regarding the Lahore Qalandars vs. Peshawar Zalmi game, the latter team is having a terrible season and has yet to earn a point. Conversely, Peshawar, under Babar's guidance, is growing more confident with each game.

The first team plays for pride, while the other team plays to secure a postseason berth. On Saturday, March 2, the 17th encounter between the Lahore Qalandars and the Peshawar Zalmi will take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi.

It looks like Shaheen's Lahore Qalandars would soon be out of the race. Their fate is no longer in their hands because they can only earn eight points if they win their remaining four games. But after winning three straight, Babar and the group are incredibly confident.

Rassie van der Dussen (300 runs in 6 games) and Sahibzada Farhan (239 runs in 6 games) are Lahore's leading scorers and most dependable players. Shaheen Afridi, who has taken nine wickets in six games, is among the best wicket-takers. These players might be very significant to the Lahore team.

Ihsanullah's inaccurate elbow diagnosis is noted by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is furious over how board members have handled the injury of young fast bowler Ihsanullah. Ihsan, 21, made a big impression with his pace in the Pakistan Super League last year. He then took part in two ODIs at home against New Zealand and three T20 matches against Afghanistan in Sharjah. But after the series against New Zealand, he suffered an elbow injury that kept him out of action for the Asia Cup and World Cup. Unfortunately for the youngster, his recovery has not yet been complete due to a misdiagnosis of his condition and a botched operation in Lahore. A top physician on the board's medical panel made the first diagnosis, according to a Press Trust of India article. As a result, time was lost trying to heal the patient without surgery. Following a failed surgery at a private hospital in Lahore, medical professionals at his PSL team, Multan Sultan, determined he needed to see a specialist in the UK. The PCB has n...

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...
