PSL 2026: Multan Sultans vs Hyderabad Kingsmen Eliminator T20 2026 Prediction, Match Preview and Betting Odds

The first eliminator of the 2026 Pakistan Super League will see Multan Sultans take on Hyderabad Kingsmen at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday, April 29.

Multan Sultans Preview

The Multan Sultans will head into the eliminator round hoping to arrest their recent dip in form that has seen them lose each of their last two games and have only won two of their last five matches. Despite securing a third-place finish in the league stage, their momentum has taken a hit at the wrong time. They suffered a four-wicket defeat to Hyderabad Kingsmen before falling to another four-wicket loss against Islamabad United in their most recent match. They will now aim to bounce back as they possess a strong battling unit, with Steven Smith being the Sultans' top run scorer with 367 runs

Multan Sultans Predicted XI

Hyderabad Kingsmen Preview

Hyderabad Kingsmen arrive in the eliminator on the back of a positive note, as they secured a positive 108-run win over Pindiz to clinch the fourth spot of the points standings. The Kingsmen enter the Eliminator with high confidence following an impressive five wins from their last six matches, and they will aim to carry forward their winning form and progress further in the competition. Marnus Labuschagne has been their batting anchor for the Kingsmen, accumulating 274 runs in ten innings.
