How Kaizer Chiefs can upset Orlando Pirates in the Soweto Derby
Amakhosi will look to end a four-match winless run against the Buccaneers on Saturday. We look at how Chiefs can upset Pirates and further dent their rivals title hopes.
The security concerns stem from the country's recent border dispute with India, which has seen at least 66 civilians killed in cross-border shelling by the militaries of both Pakistan and India.
The two countries announced an immediate cease-fire over the weekend but the PCB clearly wasn't convinced that was enough to ensure the safety of its cricketers and took the step of postponing matches of three tournaments - the President's Trophy Grade II, the Regional Intra-District Challenge Cup and the Inter-District U19 One Day tournament.
The PCB said new schedules for the three events would be released in due course and the news came just a day after the Pakistan Super League indefinitely suspended all play with eight games of the season remaining.
The PCB did its best to provide a platform for the PSL to continue when they first announced the remaining games in the season would be played in the UAE, only for the postponement to be announced 24 hours later.
There is still hope the PSL season will be concluded at some stage, although things do not look that positive after news that several teams had already disbanded and told their overseas players they were free to leave and travel home.
There is no news yet on the fate of Bangladesh's tour of Pakistan set to commence on 21 May in a series that will contain five T20I fixtures.
