The 2020–21 Pakistan Cup was a List A cricket competition that took place in Karachi, Pakistan from 8 January to 31 January 2021.[1][2][3] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were the defending champions after they beat Baluchistan.[4] However, after the new domestic structure announced by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), six newly formed regional teams were formed.[5][6]

In December 2020, it was announced that Aaron Summers would play in the tournament, becoming the first Australian cricketer to play in a domestic cricket competition in Pakistan,[7] after signing with Southern Punjab cricket team.[8]

Following the conclusion of the group stage, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Northern and Central Punjab had all qualified for the semi-finals of the tournament.[9] In the first semi-final, Central Punjab beat Sindh by 127 runs.[10] The second semi-final, between Northern and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ended in a tie, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa winning the Super Over.[11] In the final, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa beat Central Punjab by seven wickets to win the tournament.[12] It was Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's third domestic title of the season, after they won the 2020–21 National T20 Cup and shared the 2020–21 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy with Central Punjab.[13]
