Hyderabad Kingsmen vs Islamabad United Live Score, PSL 2026 Today Match: They won the toss, sent Hyderabad to bat, and used an outstanding all-around bowling performance to destroy their batting lineup. They were held to just 80 in 16 overs when Gleeson, Shadab, and Imad Wasim each claimed three wickets. Conway fell for a second-ball duck during the pursuit, which was the one small setback in United’s otherwise outstanding performance. While Sameer Minhas was happy to play second fiddle, Riaz batted with total freedom, hitting six fours and two sixes in his 18-ball 42. United made a fantastic comeback following yesterday’s setback to Rawalpindiz.
The high-flying Hyderabad Kingsmen face Islamabad United as the third and fourth-placed teams on the PSL 2026 points table clash. Marnus Labuschagne’s Kingsmen have won four games on the trot after starting the season with four defeats. Among their four wins, one came against their opponent of the night at the National Stadium in Karachi. A win tonight could very well solidify the playoff spot for either of the two teams. Both Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans have already qualified, leaving two spots open. One of Islamabad United or Hyderabad Kingsmen could take up a spot.

Both bowler-dominated and high-scoring games have taken place in Karachi’s National Stadium. It will be interesting to see what kind of pitch the teams get on Friday. The captain who wins the toss would like to bowl first in order to assess the conditions. During the first few overs, the fresh ball might swing around, which the seamers would aim to exploit.

Islamabad United are making a mockery of this chase. Sameer Minhas took on the charge in the second and third over.
Defending only 80 runs, Hyderabad Kingsmen got off to a great start. Mohammad Ali dismissed Devon Conway in the first over.
WICKET! LBW And GONE! Imad Wasim bowls a full delivery on middle and leg, it was angling in, Mohammad Ali stays back to defend but misses the ball and gets hit on the pads. It looks out straight away, but he goes for a review. UltraEdge shows no bat, and ball-tracking confirms it’s hitting the stumps, three reds! Hyderabad Kingsmen 80-All Out vs Islamabad United in Karachi | Gleeson 3/9, Shadab 3/13, Wasim 3/21; Usman Khan 25
Salman Mirza gets his first of the night, Asif Mehmood is gone for 12, Shadab Khan takes the catch. The fall continues for Hyderabad Kingsmen. Mehmood backs away, and Mirza follows him with a pitched-up delivery. Mehmood tries to hit over the bowler’s head but only manages to get it off the toe-end only to manage it to give it to Shadab. Kingsmen 75/8 in 14.2 overs vs United in Karachi!
Shadab Khan, you beauty, he is leading from the front! Hassan Khan is gone for a golden duck! Two in two for Shadab! He bowls a quicker googly, and Hassan Khan leans forward tentatively, only to chip it straight back. Shadab takes a straightforward catch. Hyderabad Kingsmen 57/7 in 11.2 overs vs Islamabad United in Karachi
WICKET! Shadab strikes again — another one goes! Shadab bowls a full ball well outside off, Irfan Khan reaches out and tries to go big down the ground, but doesn’t time it well. The ball comes off the toe end and goes towards wide long-on, where Chris Green takes a neat low catch. HYK 57/6 in 11.1 overs vs ISL in Karachi
WICKET! Shadab strikes — Kingsmen in trouble! A full delivery on the leg side from Shadab, Perera goes down on one knee to play the slog sweep, but mistimes it badly and gets a top edge. The ball goes straight to short fine, where Imad Wasim takes a simple catch. Hyderabad Kingsmen 40/4 in 7.3 overs vs Islamabad United
WICKET! Gleeson on fire, Saim Ayub is gone for 12! Gleeson bowls a short of a length ball on the leg side, skidding through quickly. Ayub goes for the hook but is hurried and gets a top edge. That’s three wickets for Gleeson — he’s ripped through the top order! HYK 25/3 in 5 overs vs ISL in Karachi
WICKET! Islamabad strike again — both openers gone! Marnus Labuschagne (5), the Hyderabad Kingsmen captain, is gone. A good length ball around off at 135 kph, Labuschagne creates room and looks to hit through the off side but gets a thick edge. The ball goes straight to first slip, where Faheem Ashraf takes a safe catch. Big blow for Kingsmen! Hyderabad Kingsmen 12/2 in 3 overs vs Islamabad United
FOUR! Streaky, but it counts! Saim Ayub charges down the track and throws his bat at it—gets a thick outside edge! The ball flies towards third man, the fielder sprints across to his right but can’t cut it off. Runs on the board for Kingsmen! HYK 11/1 in 2 overs vs ISL in Karachi
WICKET! Islamabad strike early! Gleeson bowls a sharp 134 kph back-of-a-length delivery on off that skidded through. Sadaqat looks to swipe it across but gets a top edge that flies towards third man. Imad Wasim moves in from the fence, keeps his eyes on it, and takes a low catch safely. Islamabad United off to a perfect start! Hyderabad Kingsmen 2/1 in 1 over vs Islamabad United
Players and umpires stride out to the middle. Maaz Sadaqat and Marnus Labuschagne are at the crease, with Sadaqat on strike. Richard Gleeson has the new ball and will open the attack for United. Here we go!
Devon Conway (wk), Sameer Minhas, Mark Chapman, Mohsin Riaz, Shadab Khan (C), Haider Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Chris Green, Imad Wasim, Richard Gleeson, Salman Mirza
