Operation Sindoor: PSL 2025 match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings postponed

Match No. 27 of PSL 2025 between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi was originally scheduled to be played on May 8.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has rescheduled a Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 match. The Peshwar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings clash was set to be played at Rthe awalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Thursday, May 8. However, the match has now been postponed indefinitely by the PCB in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor by the Indian Armed Forces.

Indian Armed Forces, under the direction of Indian Government, launched Operation Sindoor after midnight on Wednesday, May 7, to attack the terrorist group responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack. The Indian forces launched air strikes in Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) and targeted nine terrorist camps.

This is in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir valley on April 22. A group of terrorists from Pakistan attacked tourists in an open market in Pahalgam City and killed 26 people. The attack shook the nation, and the Indian Government swung into action to bring justice to the victims.
