Hyderabad Kingsmen vs Pindiz Highlights PSL 2026 Match Scorecard: Glenn Maxwell, Hunain Shah, Akif Javed Star As Kingsmen Qualify For Playoffs After 108-Run Win

And the Hyderabad Kingsmen have done the unthinkable. Led by Marnus Labuschagne, the Hyderabad-based side has won by 108 runs to qualify for the playoffs. The Rawalpindiz poor season ended on even a worse note as they lost by a whopping margin. Hunnain Shah returned to bowl his final over and struck on his first ball to pick up the final wicket and seal the win for his team. 

The Rawalpindiz are gifting this historic win to the Hyderabad Kingsmen. After a solid previous over where no wicket fell, six runs came off the first five balls of the 17th over. However, Asif Afridi found himself facing the last ball of the over and was run out on the final ball of the over. 

The golden arm of Glenn Maxwell has struck, and it is Mohammad Amir whose forgettable day with the ball is now coupled with a second-ball duck in the second innings. The Kingsmen need two wickets with 32 runs to play with. 

The Rawalpindiz batters are falling like ninepins. Usman Khawaja from the opposite end is looking at the batters getting dismissed continuously. It was Hunain Shah, who returned to the attack to pick up his third wicket. Kingsmen now need three wickets while defending 36 runs. 

There is the sixth wicket, and this time around it is Mohammad Ali who has struck in his third over. It was a brilliant catch from Glenn Maxwell as Saad Masood’s four-ball stay at the crease came to an end. Kingsmen now need four wickets before Rawalpindiz score 45 runs. 

It is again that man again for Hyderabad Kingsmen. Akif Javed struck in his final over as he picked up his third wicket of the match. Javed dismissed Dian Forrester. With Usman Khawaja, still at the crease, his wicket would be important for the Marnus Labuschagne-led side. 

There is the fourth wicket for Hyderabad Kingsmen, but has it come too late for the Marnus Labuschagne-led side? Akif Javed returned to the attack, and he was hit for a six on the third ball of the over. However, the pacer bounced back strongly and took a wicket on the very next ball. With the Rawalpindiz having scored 94 runs in 10 overs, Kingsmen need to take the next rest of the six wickets for 64 runs. 

Glenn Maxwell, after being the star performer with the bat in hand in the first innings came on to bowl right after the power play. The off-spinner started well giving only four runs off the first five balls. However, he was hit for a six on the final ball of the seventh over by Sam Billings. 

It is Hunain Shah who has bowled a solid over for the Hyderabad Kingsmen. The right-arm pacer picked up two wickets in the final over of the power play, dismissing Mohammad Rizwan and Kamran Ghulam. 

Saim Ayub came into the attack and was hit for three boundaries. The right-arm off-spinner gave 19 runs in the over as Hyderabad Kingsmen look flustered. 

The Kingsmen need some wickets, and they need them fast. Akif Javed, after picking up a wicket in his first over, has been attacked by Mohammad Rizwan. The Pindiz skipper struck a couple of fours as 12 runs came in the fourth over. 

Mohammad Ali did not follow up his first over economically. The medium pacer was hit for a four by Rizwan as nine runs came off the third over. 

There is the first wicket for Hyderabad Kingsmen. Akif Javed, bowling the second over, dismissed Shahzaib Khan on the fourth ball of the over after being hit for a couple of fours by Mohammad Rizwan. 

It is a solid start from Mohammad Ali in the first over for Hyderabad Kingsmen. The right-arm medium pacer gave only three runs in the first over against the opening duo of Mohammad Rizwan and Shahzaib Khan. 

It is Hassan Khan who has provided the finishing touches to this first innings. The right-handed batter came to the crease in the final over after Glenn Maxwell was run out. He smashed a couple of sixes and a four to end the over as the Hyderabab Kingsmen end up scoring 244 runs in the first innings. It is a huge score, and now the onus would be on the bowlers to ensure that it is a big enough win for the Marnus Labuschagne-led side. 

Glenn Maxwell has arrived at the party and the Australian all-rounder is playing a gem of a knock here. The right-handed batter got to his half-century in the 18th over as he struck a couple of fours against Ben Sears. In the previous over, Maxwell smashed three fours against Mohammad Amir. The Kingsmen are looking well set for a score beyond 240. 

HYK: 213/5 After 18 Overs!

The Rawalpindiz have done well to bowl a couple of quiet overs against the Kingsmen. Only 13 runs came off the last two overs as Kusal Perera nears a half-century. However, it is Glenn Maxwell, who would need to go big as the Kingsmen look for a score of more than 220 runs. 

Both Kusal Perera and Glenn Maxwell have got off to great starts. The two overseas batters have settled in their knocks and would be looking to make sure that they stay in for as long as possible to provide a huge score for the Kingsmen as they look for a win with a big margin to make it to the playoffs. 

HYK: 162/5 After 13 Overs

Saad Masood has stunned the Hyderabad Kingsmen. The leg-spinner picked up two wickets off two balls, dismissing Usman Khan and Irfan Khan in the 10th over. The Kingsmen have lost half their side with scoreboard reading 126 runs. They would want Glenn Maxwell to turn up as the Hyderabad-based side look for a huge score. 

Amad Butt struck in the final over of the power play to dismiss Maaz Sadaqat. The right-arm pacer dismissed Sadaqat on the very first ball of the sixth over .

The Hyderabad Kingsmen are not playing around, they are here to make this match count, and it is showing from their batting in the first five overs. Usman Khan and Maaz Sadaqat are going all guns blazing and have put together a stand worth 54 runs in 23 balls. The fifth over from Mohammad Amir accounted for 21 runs as Usman struck three fours and a six. 

Captain Marnus Labuschagne is the first player to be dismissed for Hyderabad Kingsmen. The Aussie batter was sent back to the pavillion on the first ball of the second over by Ben Sears.
