The Kingsmen are particularly high on confidence and will aim to pile the misery on their shaky opposition.

Hyderabad Kingsmen, who started their PSL 2026 campaign with four losses on the bounce, sneaked a spot in the playoffs with a massive 108-run win over Rawalpindiz that gave them the much-required net run-rate boost required to advance to the next stage. The Kingsmen also secured a resounding win over the Multan Sultans, battering them by eight wickets to set up the Eliminator 2 clash against the Islamabad United. With batting, bowling might along with high confidence, Kingsmen could be quite hard to stop.

Meanwhile, Islamabad United will need to upgrade themselves across departments after going down by 70 runs to Peshawar Zalmi. While Shadab Khan continues to be among the wickets, the skipper will need his colleagues to step up as well to take down the Kingsmen. In the batting department, Sameer Minhas will need to find consistency to play long innings and the batting unit must avoid a horrendous collapse as it happened in Qualifier 1.
