The 2012–13 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was one of two first-class domestic cricket competitions that were held in Pakistan during the 2012–13 season. It was the 55th edition of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, and was contested by fourteen teams representing regional cricket associations.[a] It was preceded in the schedule by the President's Trophy, which was contested by ten departmental teams.[a][1]
The Pakistan Cricket Board made substantial changes to the structure of domestic first-class cricket for the 2012–13 season. Having competed together for the previous five seasons, the regional associations and departments were separated into their own competitions. The format of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was also changed, with two round-robin group stages and a final between the top sides in the "Super-Eight" to determine the winner.[1]
Karachi Blues won the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy for the ninth time, and the twentieth by a Karachi team, beating Sialkot by nine wickets in the final.[2]
The Pakistan Cricket Board made substantial changes to the structure of domestic first-class cricket for the 2012–13 season. Having competed together for the previous five seasons, the regional associations and departments were separated into their own competitions. The regions remained in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and the departments were moved into a new President's Trophy competition. The format of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was also changed, with two round-robin group stages and a final between the top sides in the "Super-Eight" to determine the winner.[1]
With the absence of departments from the competition, teams were permitted to recruit five departmental players to their squads, of which four could be named for any given match. Kookaburra cricket balls, commonly used in international cricket, were also introduced.[3]
The fourteen teams, the thirteen who competed in 2011–12 plus Bahawalpur, were divided between two groups in the first stage of the competition. The top four teams from each group proceeded to the Super-Eight in the second stage, while the remaining six teams proceeded to the Plate-League. In both the Super-Eight and the Plate-League, the teams were split into two groups based on ranking in the first stage, with the top team in each second stage group contesting a final.[1]
Positions in the tables were determined by total points, most matches won, fewest matches lost, followed by adjusted net run rate (matches with no result, i.e. those where both teams did not complete their first innings, were disregarded); matches finishing in a draw were decided on first innings scores, with points awarded as follows:
