Hyderabad Kingsmen face Rawalpindiz in the 39th match of the 2026 Pakistan Super League, an afternoon fixture at the National Stadium in Karachi. Hyderabad arrive after a heavy defeat by Islamabad United in which they were bowled out for just 80 in 15.5 overs, and they are expected to field their strongest XI to bounce back.
Their batting hopes rest on captain Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khan, Maaz Sadaqat, Kusal Perera and Saim Ayub. With the ball, the likes of Akif Javed, Mohammad Ali, Hunain Shah, Hassan Khan and Irfan Khan are expected to carry the load.
Rawalpindiz look to Mohammad Rizwan, Daryl Mitchell, Kamran Ghulam and Sam Billings for runs, with an attack featuring Mohammad Amir, Asif Afridi, Amad Butt, Cole McConchie, Saad Masood and Dian Forrester. Top-order batters can dominate early on this surface, and a total of 180 or more could be match-winning in the heat. Our preview picks Hyderabad Kingsmen.
