Impact of COVID-19
The playoff stage of the tournament was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] On 2 July 2020, PCB announced that they are looking forward to complete the season in November 2020.[6] On 2 September 2020, the PCB confirmed the fixtures for the remaining matches.[7] The matches were previously scheduled to be held at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, on 14 and 15 November, with the final scheduled to be played on 17 of November.[7] On 24 October 2020, PCB announced that the playoffs and final of the season are relocated to National Stadium, Karachi due to poor air quality and heavy chances of smog in Lahore.[8][9]
