On Wednesday, April 29, Multan Sultans and Hyderabad Kingsmen will square off in Eliminator 1 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2026) at the Gaddafi Stadium. This high-profile match features two teams with two distinct narratives. After losing their last two games, Multan Sultans, who had been playing well for the majority of the competition, lost their qualifying berth. It’s a do-or-die game now.
Ashton Turner lead team include some of the biggest names in international cricket, like Sahibzada Farhan and Steven Smith. On any given day, their batting order appears to be capable of taking on any bowling attack. They feature seasoned pacer Peter Siddle and experienced bowler Mohammad Wasim Jr., both of whom have produced reliable results. The Hyderabad Kingsmen, on the other hand, started the competition slowly but picked up steam later on to earn a postseason berth. They will want to maintain their winning streak and advance in the competition by building on that impressive finish.
