The PSL match cancelled between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings due to rising tensions between Pakistan and India, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Wednesday. The decision follows drone attacks by India in several Pakistani cities including Lahore, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi, Attock, Bahawalpur, and Karachi.
“The Pakistan Cricket Board, in consultation with all the stakeholders, has decided to reschedule tonight’s HBL PSL X match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings,” the PCB stated. The match was originally scheduled to take place later today at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. A revised date for the 27th match of PSL 10 will be announced later.
The PCB also provided ticket refund details. “VIP Gallery and enclosures ticket holders can obtain refunds from TCS Express Centers for tonight’s match, while tickets bought online for tonight’s encounter will be automatically reimbursed in the accounts used at the time of booking,” the statement added.

This comes shortly after Director General ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry confirmed in a press briefing that India carried out acts of aggression on the night of May 7-8. He said the drone attacks targeted civilian locations and even mosques, violating Pakistan’s airspace. According to the ISPR, one civilian was martyred and four soldiers were injured during the attacks.
These escalations have triggered wider concerns over public safety, affecting scheduled events, including the PSL. The PCB’s decision to cancel the match is a precautionary move to ensure security for teams and spectators.
