Preview

Multan Sultans set to face Hyderabad Kingsmen in Eliminator 1 of the Pakistan Super League 2026 (PSL) at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday, April 29.

In Eliminator 1 of PSL 2026, Multan Sultans (MUL) will take on Hyderabad Kingsmen (HYK) in a high-pressure knockout clash. Multan Sultans finished third in the league stage with 6 wins from 10 matches, but their form has dipped slightly at a crucial time. They will look to bounce back strongly and keep their title hopes alive.

In their last match, Multan suffered a 4-wicket defeat against Islamabad United. Batting first, they posted 192 runs, but their bowlers failed to defend the total. Shan Masood played a steady knock of 44 runs, while Arafat Minhas added a quick 31. However, their bowling attack lacked consistency in the death overs.

On the other hand, Hyderabad Kingsmen have been one of the most improved teams this season. After a slow start, they won 5 of their 10 matches and finished strong with 4 wins in their last 5 games. In their previous match, Hyderabad dominated Rawalpindi Pindiz with a massive 108-run victory. Glenn Maxwell smashed 70 off 37 balls, while Hunain Shah starred with a brilliant 4-wicket haul, helping them defend 244 comfortably.
