The knockout stage of the tournament was suspended due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.[3] In late March 2020, the PCB were looking at whether to declare the winner of the tournament based on the league standings, or to play the matches at a later date.[4]

Background

Edit
In February 2019, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, announced that the fifth season of the tournament will be held entirely in Pakistan.[5][6][7][8] In March 2019, Ehsan Mani, Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board also expressed the desire to host all the matches of this season in Pakistan.[9] On 1 January 2020, PCB announced fixtures for the tournament confirming that the entire tournament will take place in Pakistan.[10][11

Effect by corona virus pandemic

The later part of the tournament was affected by 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. The matches were reduced from 34 to 33 and the playoffs were replaced by knockouts thus shortening the tournament by 4 days. The final was rescheduled from 22 March to 18 March.[30][31] The matches from 13 March were announced to take place behind closed doors.[32][33]
As many as eighteen players were confirmed to not take part in any future matches after the increased cases of coronavirus in Pakistan as well as in the rest of the world, and also to avoid being stranded from their home countries due to border closures, as was the case for New Zealanders Colin Munro, Luke Ronchi, and Mitchell McClenaghan.[34][35]
On 17 March 2020, it was the announced that the rest of the tournament is postponed for an indefinite period after English cricketer Alex Hales showed symptoms of the virus.[36][22] Hales observed self-isolation on his return to England, whereas PCB released a statement saying that Hales was not the player suspected of Coronavirus and instead refused to reveal the identity of the player who had.[37]
