Lahore, 7 November 2021: To make the premier Quaid-e-Azam Trophy more interesting and exciting, the Pakistan Cricket Board has decided to stage two four-day matches with the pink ball under floodlights.
The fourth round fixture between Discover Pakistan Central Punjab and GFS Sindh, which was earlier scheduled for Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad from 10-13 November, will now be played under the Gaddafi Stadium floodlights on the same dates, while the 25-29 December final at the National Stadium in Karachi will also be played with the pink ball.
The rescheduling of the fourth round fixture from 10-13 November now means Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be played at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad, whereas the Northern versus ATF Southern Punjab will proceed as originally planned at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
The first session of the pink ball matches will be played from 1300-1500, the second session will run from 1520-1720, while the final session will be held from 1800-2000.
The match starting at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday will be live-streamed on the PCB YouTube Channel, while the 25-29 December final will be broadcast live on PTV Sports.
