The timings of Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine matches during the holy month of Ramadan have been confirmed.
According to the PSL’s official social media accounts, the matches from today will start at 9:00pm (PST) with the toss taking place half an hour before the first ball is bowled.
Earlier, the Pakistan Meteorological Department had predicted that the Ramadan moon will be born at 2pm on March 10.
At the time of sighting the moon the next day on March 11, its age will be more than 28 hours, as per the Met Office.
PMD added that the age of the moon, therefore, strengthens the chances of its sighting on Monday.
