A gutsy Hyderabad Kingmsen will face the Multan Sultans in the Eliminator clash of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 on April 29, Wednesday at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
Nevertheless, the winner of the contest will not get a direct path to the final but must face the Islamabad United in Qualifier 2 after the latter lost to the Peshawar Zalmi in Qualifier 1.
Hyderabad Kingsmen had suffered four losses to begin their PSL 2026 campaign but have performed outstandingly to reach the playoffs. Led by Marnus Labuschagne, they also sustained a huge dent in their Net Run Rate after being bowled out for 80 by Islamabad United in their second-last league fixture. Nevertheless, the Kingsmen gave themselves a huge boost in that department by defeating Rawalpindiz by 108 runs to not only qualify for the top four but also knocking out Lahore Qalandars in the process. Kingsmen had also defeated the Multan Sultans in their most recent meeting.
Meanwhile, the Multan Sultans qualified for the playoffs fairly comfortably. But back-to-back defeats to the Kingsmen and Islamabad United, headlined by failing to defend 190+ targets would have dented their confidence. While their batting unit has clicked into gear, it’s the Sultans’ bowling that will give the management plenty of headache. With the Kingsmen high on confidence, Multan Sultans will need to bring their A-game.

While Multan Sultans have been more consistent, Hyderabad Kingsmen have got better and better as the season has progressed. But it’s also worth noting that the Kingsmen’s batting unit can collapse in a heap on their off-day. Should Sultans’ bowling unit regain control, they will be favourites to win but Kingsmen’s current form means they are likely to emerge victorious.
