PSL 2026 Points Table: Hyderabad Kingsmen produced a calm and controlled chase to overhaul 153 on a tricky Karachi surface, sealing back-to-back wins. Marnus Labuschagne led from the front with an unbeaten 61, supported by quick cameos from Maaz Sadaqat (30) and Glenn Maxwell (21*).
Both teams started aggressively in the powerplay, but the game turned in the middle overs. Islamabad lost momentum after consecutive run-outs of Devon Conway and Mohammad Faiq, while Hyderabad built a crucial 60-run stand between Labuschagne and Saim Ayub (35). A brief collapse put Hyderabad under pressure, but Labuschagne and Maxwell steadied things and finished the chase with 11 balls to spare.
Earlier, Islamabad’s strong start faded as Hyderabad’s bowlers used slower deliveries effectively in the middle overs. Mark Chapman (42) provided late resistance, but Asif Mehmood’s four-wicket final over restricted them to 153/9.
