Hunain and Ali's Heroics Can't Save Winless Rawalpindiz in PSL Thriller
Rawalpindiz bowlers put up a fight. Think 3/18 and 3/21—decent hauls that bundled Hyderabad Kingsmen out for 122. But it wasn't enough. The Kingsmen chased it down anyway, snagging that crucial fifth-place win.
Rawalpindi Pindiz are stuck at the foot of the PSL 2026 table. A 5-wicket loss to Hyderabad Kingsmen on that tricky, slow Karachi pitch did them no favors. Hunain Shah snared 3/18. Mohammad Ali picked up 3/21. Together they held the Kingsmen to a chase of just 122. Pindiz's batsmen crumbled anyway—121/9.
Hyderabad Kingsmen notched their third win on the trot. They leaped to fourth, stretching Pindiz's losing streak to six in a row. Those middle-order knocks got them over the line easy enough, even on a bowler's paradise. Marnus Labuschagne. Kusal Perera. Irfan Khan. All chipped in big for the victors.
Pindiz crave some kind of spark. Their winless run drags on as PSL heats up.
CricHubb Take
Rawalpindiz bowlers keep delivering. But those batting collapses? They're murdering the PSL campaign.
