All the teams aim and prepare the whole year to not only feature in the final but to lift the Supernova Trophy, while the passionate cricket fans also wait anxiously to see their favourite team being crowned as the champion.<br \/>\n\u201cAs such, and on the basis of available information about the bad weather forecast, it is a sensible and proactive approach that we use the off-day and play the final on Saturday, and utilise Sunday along with Monday as reserve days. This will give us two reserve days in case the match cannot be completed or played on Saturday instead of the traditional one day.\u201d<br \/>\nSethi further clarified that the PCB has spoken with the teams involved in the playoffs and \u201cthey are not only aligned with our decision but have backed and supported\u201d the governing body\u2019s decision.<br \/>\nHe also clarified that cricket fans would face no inconvenience due to the rescheduling as tickets purchased for Sunday\u2019s match will remain valid for Saturday\u2019s rescheduled final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The game will have two reserve days Islamabad The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday announced that the much-anticipated final for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will be played on March 18 (Saturday) instead of March 19 (Sunday) as was originally planned.
