Hyderabad Kingsmen Knock Out Multan Sultans to Keep PSL 11 Run Alive
Hyderabad Kingsmen are still in it and now with serious momentum.
The Kingsmen knocked out Multan Sultans with a convincing eight-wicket win in Eliminator 1, keeping their PSL 11 campaign alive and moving one step closer to the final.
The match, played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, turned out to be far more one-sided than expected.
Bowling Set the Tone Early
Hyderabad’s win was built on discipline with the ball.
Their bowlers put Multan under pressure right from the start, reducing them to 93/7 at one stage before a late recovery helped the Sultans reach 159/9 in 20 overs.
Mohammad Ali, Hunain Shah, and Akif Javed all picked up two wickets each, ensuring Multan never fully settled.
Comfortable Chase Under Pressure
Chasing 160 in a knockout game is never simple, but Hyderabad made it look routine.
The Kingsmen reached the target with eight wickets in hand and 28 balls to spare, showing complete control in the second innings.
Half-centuries from Usman Khan and Maaz Sadaqat anchored the chase, with both batters maintaining a high scoring rate and avoiding unnecessary risks.
End of the Road for Multan
For Multan Sultans, the loss ends their PSL 11 campaign.
Despite being one of the league’s most consistent sides in recent years, they couldn’t recover after a poor start with the bat and never looked in control of the match.
Hyderabad’s Dream Run Continues
What makes this result more significant is Hyderabad’s journey.
This is their debut PSL season, and after just making it into the playoffs, they have now eliminated a major contender.
The team now moves into Eliminator 2, where they will face Islamabad United for a place in the final.
What This Means Going Forward
The equation is simple now.
- Hyderabad Kingsmen: One win away from the final
- Islamabad United: Next challenge in Eliminator 2
- Peshawar Zalmi: Already waiting in the final
With confidence high and momentum building, Hyderabad has turned into a serious threat at the business end of the tournament.
Bottom Line
This wasn’t just a win; it was control from start to finish.
Hyderabad Kingsmen outplayed Multan Sultans in every department and now carry real momentum into the next knockout. If this form continues, their “dream run” might go even further.
