Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
This stadium is the home ground of Lahore Qalandars and was previously known as Lahore Stadium. The Pakistan Cricket Board owns the stadium, which has a capacity of 27,000 people, making it the fourth-largest cricket stadium in Pakistan. Gaddafi Stadium was the first to install modern floodlights with backup generators in Pakistan.
The Gaddafi Stadium is one of the most significant landmarks in Lahore, Punjab. This stadium was built in 1959 by Nasreddin Murat-Khan, an architect and civil engineer, and Mian Abdul Khaliq and Company completed the construction. It has contributed to the culture of cricket for over half a century.
Gaddafi Stadium will host many matches during the PSL 9. This stadium hosted the final of the 2017 Pakistan Super League on 5 March 2017.

Pitch
It is hard to say which team will win, the one who bats first or the team who bowls first. If we look at the T20 statistics, 19 games ended up with the teams who bat first. While 13 out of 19 games resulted in the victory of the team who bowled first. The average score here is 173, not a high score in terms of T20s. So, a balanced squad can have a stronger chance of winning the game.

Located in Karachi, Pakistan, the National Stadium is owned by the Pakistan Cricket Board and is home to the Karachi Kings and many other domestic cricket teams.
The stadium has a seating capacity of 34,228 spectators, making it the largest cricket stadium in Pakistan. Mr. Abdul Rasheed Khan and Mr. Kafiluddin supervised the stadium construction in the early 1950s. At the time of its establishment in April 1955, Karachi was the capital of Pakistan.
As one of the PSL 2024 venues, the National Stadium has hosted hundreds of famous cricket matches.

Pitch
The pitches in this stadium are very balanced. We mean that the National stadium favors both the batsmen and the bowlers. It is not like the stadium is a very high-scoring venue. But, the teams who won the toss and chose to bowl first had an obvious advantage against the team bowling second. So, if the teams win the toss and choose to bowl first, they get a significant advantage.

The stadium hosted its first international match on 19 January 1992, when Sri Lanka took on Pakistan in an ODI. The stadium hosted its first Test match in 1993 when team Zimbabwe was on its tour to Pakistan.
This Cricket Stadium is the home ground of Islamabad United and will host several matches during PSL 9. The stadium can seat 28,000 people.

| Location | Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan |
| Owner | PCB |
| Team | Islamabad United |
| Establishment | 1992 |
| Pavilion names | Pavilion End |
| Shell End |
Pitch
The pitches here are under the bus these days. The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium wicket, which had been used for the inaugural game of the ICC World Test Championship series between Pakistan and England, had been judged “below average” by Andy Pycroft, and the stadium obtained one disqualification point underneath the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process. This is the stadium’s second penalty score, after the “below average” rating for the surface used in the inaugural Test between Pakistan and Australia in March of 2022. This tells us a lot about the pitch. Well, let’s just hope we get to see some good matches.

Pitch
Not much data is available for this pitch. Taking the available data into account so far, the teams with spinners did very well. If bowlers mix up the variations, then it benefits them a lot. Let’s see how this track plays out in PSL 9
