The Pakistan Cricket Board organizing T20 League, PSL 2024 will be marking its start on 17th February 2024. The first edition of PSL was played in 2016 and will be marking its Ninth edition this year. The league has witnessed eight seasons, with Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars emerging as the most successful teams by clinching the title twice each. Lahore Qalandars, the reigning champions, holds a unique distinction as the only team to successfully defend their title, achieving this feat in the 2023 season. The PSL adopts a double round-robin format, where each team competes against others twice, and the top four teams progress to the Playoffs. The Playoffs employ the Page playoff system, akin to the structure used in the Indian Premier League.
The league adheres to the regulations set forth by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It pioneered the use of the Decision Review System (DRS) in T20s, a practice subsequently adopted by the ICC. During the group stage, teams earn two points for a victory, one for a no-result, and none for a loss. In the case of tied scores after completing their allotted overs, a super over is utilized to determine the winner of the match.
