Multan Sultans Face Hyderabad Kingsmen in PSL 2026 Eliminator 1 — Ms Vs Hyk
ms vs hyk arrives as a straight knockout at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. Multan Sultans and Hyderabad Kingsmen meet in Eliminator 1 of PSL 2026, with the loser out and the winner moving on.
Multan finished third with 12 points and 6 wins, while Hyderabad took fourth with 10 points and 5 wins. The Sultans have dropped their last two matches, yet they are still slight favourites, helped by a format that puts real pressure on a side trying to extend a season by one more night.
Gaddafi Stadium and the 7:00 PM start
The match is set for 7:00 PM PKT, which is 7:30 PM IST, and it will be played at Gaddafi Stadium. Fans were allowed inside for the first time in PSL 2026 after the entire league stage was played behind closed doors.
That setting adds some noise to a contest already shaped by the numbers at the venue. Teams batting first have won 62% of matches at Gaddafi Stadium in PSL 2026, and dew was expected for the night with a 25% rain chance adding another layer of uncertainty.
Multan Sultans and Hyderabad Kingsmen
The two sides have met just twice in PSL 2026, and each has one win. Hyderabad won the most recent meeting, which gives the Kingsmen a useful reference point entering a game where there is no margin for error.
Multan's pace group is part of why they still sit slightly ahead in the matchup. Peter Siddle has taken 13 wickets at age 42, and he gives the Sultans, along with Wasim Jr and Ismail, three genuine pace options.
Hyderabad Kingsmen's late push
Hyderabad's finish at 4th on 10 points left them inside the cut line but still facing a difficult path. Their late-season surge kept them alive long enough to earn this shot, and the result now decides whether that run becomes a longer playoff push or ends at Gaddafi Stadium.
For Multan, the path is simpler: stop the two-match skid and use the depth of their pace attack to reach the next round. For Hyderabad, the most recent win between the teams is the cleanest route into an upset, because one loss closes the door immediately.
