Wolves vs Panthers Match 1 Today
A scintillating new chapter in Pakistani domestic cricket is about to begin when the Champions One-Day Cup starts on September 12, 2024, and continues till September 29, 2024. The revamped List A tournament has five newly formed teams, Panthers, Wolves, Lions, Stallions, and Dolphins that will go head to head for the prestigious title in its inaugural edition.
The competition is designed on a round-robin basis, meaning each team will face off with every other side in the league stages before progressing to playoffs. For all matches, excluding one on 16th September, which starts at 9:30 am local time, the start time for the rest of the fixture will be 3:00 pm local time.
