The reason of making six teams is that Pakistan Super League is become very popular in 2nd edition. When PSL popularity increase and expenses increased automatically therefore PSL decided to make sixth team to cover expenses.The making of the 6th team also increases the number of matches that will be played in the Pakistan Super League 2018.
