MUL vs HYK Match Preview:
Multan Sultans will face Hyderabad Kingsmen in the Eliminator 1 of PSL 2026 for their third clash of the season, with the competition starting at 7:30 PM IST on April 29, 2026, at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

Multan Sultans finished third in the league stage after registering six wins from ten matches, while Hyderabad Kingsmen finished fourth with five wins and five losses in their debut season. As a result, both sides demonstrated enough consistency to qualify, yet they are now entering a do-or-die encounter where execution will determine survival.
Multan Sultans came into this match after a close 4-wicket defeat to Islamabad United, where Shan Masood contributed 44 runs, but could not lead the team to victory. In contrast, Hyderabad Kingsmen arrived with strong momentum after their emphatic 108-run win over Rawalpindi on the back of Glenn Maxwell’s explosive 70 off 37 balls and Hunnain Shah’s impressive four-wicket haul. Therefore, Hyderabad will look to build on that confidence while Multan will aim to regroup quickly.
Earlier in the tournament, both teams had shared one win each in their two meetings, underscoring the competitive balance between them. In their most recent encounter on April 22, Hyderabad chased down a tough target of 214 runs thanks to a remarkable century from Usman Khan. As a result, this eliminator promises to be a close battle, with both teams aiming to perform well under pressure and seal a place in the next stage.
