PSL 2026 Standings: Hyderabad Kingsmen managed to do the unthinkable as they defeated the Rawalpindiz by 108 runs to qualify for the playoffs. The Marnus Labuschagne-led side were right on the money with the bat in hand in the first innings. Maaz Sadaqat provided the impetus at the top of the order. But it was fifties from Usman Khan, Kusal Perera, and Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell, in particular, was at his very best as he scored 70 runs in only 37 balls. With the ball in hand, it was a well-rounded effort yet again from the Kingsmen. Akif Javed starred early in the innings and finished with a three-wicket haul. Hunain Shah claimed four wickets while Mohammad Ali and Maxwell chipped in with a wicket each.
With this win, Kingsmen have qualified for the playoffs. Peshawar Zalmi lead the points table and will play the Qualifier on April 28. Their opponent will be the winner of the evening clash between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans.
Hyderabad Kingsmen, playing their first season in the Pakistan Super League, won in an emphatic fashion to qualify for the playoffs. The Marnus Labuschagne-led side defeated the Pindiz by 108 runs to qualify for the playoffs. After scoring 244 runs, the Kingsmen needed to win the clash by 86 runs. In the second innings, at one point, it looked as if the Kingsmen would fail to do the unthinkable. Pindiz were 94 for three when a collapse was triggered. Akif Javed took the crucial breakthrough by dismissing Sam Billings.
The wickets then kept falling as Hunain Shah, Glenn Maxwell, and Javed managed to take wickets at regular intervals. Maxwell, after being the star performer in the first innings, picked up a wicket while giving only 25 runs in his four overs. Meanwhile, Hunain picked up four wickets after Javed finished up with a three-wicket haul.
Peshawar Zalmi, Multan Sultans, Islamabad United, and Hyderabad Kingsmen are the four teams that have qualified for the PSL 2026 playoffs. Zalmi ended their league stage at the top of the PSL 2026 points table with eight wins in 10 games. MS and ISL are yet to play their final game of the season and are currently playing the final game of the season.
