PSL braces for its toughest week as rains, thunderstorm, even flash floods likely in Pindi, Lahore

The remainder of this week's line-up of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 fixtures face and even bigger threat than before from bad weather as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (Met Office) has updated its rain forecast.

The Met Office, in a press release, said that several parts of the country, including Rawalpindi and Lahore are "likely" to receive "widespread heavy rains, thunderstorm winds (with hailstorm)" until Saturday due to a "strong westerly weather system".

The precipitation could be so severe that "the possibility of urban flooding cannot be ruled out" in both the cities, which are scheduled to host two PSL 2020 matches each until Saturday.

It is pertinent to mention that the fixture between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi in Rawalpindi last week was washed out, leading to the two sides being awarded a single point each. 

Following are the four matches that stand to be affected:

5 Mar – Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators, Pindi Cricket Stadium (7pm-10.15pm)

6 Mar – Karachi Kings v Multan Sultans, Gaddafi Stadium (7pm-10.15pm)

7 Mar – Peshawar Zalmi v Islamabad United, Pindi Cricket Stadium (2pm-5.15pm); Lahore Qalandars v Quetta Gladiators, Gaddafi Stadium (7pm-10.15pm)
