The finale of Pakistan Super League has been postponed. The tournament had reached the semi-final stage, with a double-header of matches due to be played behind closed doors on Tuesday in Lahore, and the final scheduled for a day later.

However, it has now been suspended. It is understood the intention is to reschedule the matches at a later date.

On Monday, it was announced that Bangladesh and Pakistan had postponed their bilateral Test and one-day international scheduled for the start of next month, in response to the coronavirus situation.

At that point, it was hoped the PSL competition could be played to a conclusion, with an abbreviated finals schedule.

However, it was announced on Tuesday morning the competition was “postponed, to be rescheduled” according to the competition’s organisers.
